This European Standard specifies a series of methods for the determination of peel adhesion properties of self adhesives tapes.Annexes A and B specify further variations in the testing protocol according to specific conditions.This European Standard contains:-Method 1:Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from stainless steel at an angle of 180° ;-Method 2:Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from its own backing at an angle of 180° ;-Method 3:Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion of double sided and transfer tapes at an angle 180° ;-Method 4:Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of adhesion of the liner to an adhesive tape at an angle of 180°.Together with-Annex ASelf adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at low temperature ;-Annex BSelf adhesive tapes - Measurement of peel adhesion from a surface at an angle of 90°.A guide to the use of these methods and annexes is given in Table 1.
