1. Scope

1.1 This test method provides one procedure for determining the adherence of pressure-sensitive tapes to a standard
linerboard or another similar surface.

1.2 This test method provides for an attribute response (pass
or fail) and does not yield numerical data on a variable or
continuous scale.

1.3 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to
be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
the system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system
must be used independently without combining values in any
way.

safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
