This document 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. This document 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 1810A1) 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 1810A1) 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.
