Introduction
This European Standard has been revised in conjunction with AFERA (European Association for the Self Adhesive
Tape Industry) in Europe and PSTC (Pressure Sensitive Tape Council) in USA with the purpose to produce a
standard which will be acceptable in due course by ISO.
Key changes from EN 1943:1996
 the principle of shear adhesion measurement changes to time to failure under constant load from a
measurement of the load to induce failure within four hours;
 scope of the test is expanded to include horizontal shear measurement of filament reinforced tape and to
include fibreboard substrate;
 steel plates are revised to readily available, industry standard steel with a smoother surface finish “in line with
EN 1939 Rev.”;
 test piece preparation procedure is revised in line with EN 1939 Rev.

4 Significance and use
These test methods are tools for quality control use. Given specific self adhesive tape and a requirement in terms
of the minimum or maximum value expected for this tape, the data from the test can be used in conjunction with
acceptance criteria.

These methods provide a means of assessing the uniformity of the adhesive of a given type of pressure-sensitive
tape (an example are tapes used for packaging applications). The assessment may be within a roll of tape,
between rolls or production lots.
Variations in the tape backing and adhesive affect the results, therefore, these methods cannot be used to pinpoint
the specific cause(s) of non-uniformity.
These test methods may not provide design information as there is usually no direct relationship between shear
adhesion and any functional requirement.
5 Method A: Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel
5.1 Principle
Method A of this standard measures the shear adhesion of a self adhesive tape to a standard steel panel by its
time to failure at 23 °C and 50 % relative humidity (RH) under constant load.
Shear adhesion to standard steel panel – A strip of tape is applied to a standard steel panel under controlled roll
down. The panel is mounted vertically, a standard mass is attached to the free end of the tape and the time to
failure is determined.
5.2 Materials
5.2.1 Absorbent cleaning material : surgical gauze, cotton wool or tissue. To be suitable, materials shall be lint
free during use, absorbent, contain no additives that are soluble in the solvents listed in 5.2.2 and made exclusively
from virgin materials.
5.2.2 One or more of the following solvents:
 diacetone alcohol (4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone) non–residual grade;
 methanol;
 methyl ethyl ketone;
 acetone;
 n-heptane.
 a mixture of n-heptane and a fluorinated hydrocarbon such as refrigerant (suitable when toxicity or flammability
restrictions apply).
Solvents shall be of general purpose chemical grade and held in a suitable dispensing system.
5.3 Apparatus
5.3.1 Test piece cutter
A test piece cutter shall hold two single edge razor blades in parallel planes a precise distance apart, to form a
cutter of exact specimen width; two cutters, 12 mm and 24 mm cutting width, shall be available or appropriate
alternatives which will not cause edge damage. The precision of the razor blade separation shall be the nominal
width – 0,1 mm.

surface roughness of 50 nm – 25 nm. Panels showing stains, discoloration or many scratches are not acceptable.
New panels shall be cleaned prior to use as described in 5.5.2.1 except with ten washes of the final solvent.
