ISO/TS 18614:2016 provides guidelines for users and suppliers providing the required information for requesting and specifying self-adhesive labels. It provides what to consider when defining and specifying label materials to be used for a given application. It will ensure that the relevant information is provided so that the right material for the intended application can be requested or recommended, as well as ensure that label parameters and characteristics are specified in a similar format to permit label materials to be requested, specified and compared in a consistent manner. It applies to labels with adhesive (also named as self-adhesive or pressure-sensitive). How to work and specify with other types of labels and marking are not addressed in ISO/TS 18614:2016, but may be the topic of subsequent documents. Also excluded is the information related to regulatory compliance.

Introduction
Using and ordering label material of different kinds is not an easy task as what to use and how to use it
depends on so many things, e.g. type of marking, surface, environment, treatment, information, printing
technologies, etc.
Each label application is therefore unique and requires its own combination of ink, top coating, facestock
and adhesive to serve its purpose. The label is to be seen as a vital and important part (component) of
the product and there could be multiple labels on one product to serve different needs.
As there does not exists any standards in how to specify label materials, a two-part guide is being
developed in order to provide useful information for those that are in need of a label material and those
that are to supply the relevant label material.
This document can be used by both suppliers and users.
It provides guidance on what a supplier and user need to discuss and agree upon when specifying
requirements of a label for a given application possibly to use as a request for a quote.
It also provides a harmonized template for specifying the parameters and characteristics of the label to
enable information to be evaluated on common ground, possibly to use as a product specification.

Packaging — Label material — Required information for
ordering and specifying self-adhesive labels
1 Scope
This document provides guidelines for users and suppliers providing the required information for
requesting and specifying self-adhesive labels. This document provides what to consider when defining
and specifying label materials to be used for a given application.
It will ensure that the relevant information is provided so that the right material for the intended
application can be requested or recommended, as well as ensure that label parameters and
characteristics are specified in a similar format to permit label materials to be requested, specified and
compared in a consistent manner.
This document applies to labels with adhesive (also named as self-adhesive or pressure-sensitive).
How to work and specify with other types of labels and marking are not addressed in this document,
but may be the topic of subsequent documents. Also excluded is the information related to regulatory
compliance.
