This European Standard specifies a series of methods for the determination of the ability of a pressure sensitive tape to remain adhered under a constant load applied parallel to the surfaces of the tape and substrate.The European Standard contains:-method A : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel;-method B : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A 1) standard fibreboard;-method C : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller;-method D : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal standard steel panel;-method E : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A 1) standard fibreboard;-method F : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller;method G : Self adhesive tapes - Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel at elevated temperature after a 10 min dwell time.
