6、A63 LABEL PERFORMANCE, INSTRUCTIONAL TAPES, PSA WSS-M99P41-A72 1. SCOPE These specifications define the performance requirements for all Ford Motor Company vehicle labels. The base materials and adhesive types that make up the particular label are selected by the supplier to meet the intended applic

7、ation. The information is documented in Supplement A, of this specification. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released originally for labeling requirements of various automotive components. Applications include (but are not limited to) warning labels, bar code labels, instructional labels, a

8、nd “patches” having no printing. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M99P41-A10/A72 Copyright 2014, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 2 of 17 2.1 DEFINITIONS OF LABEL APPLICATION TYPES No Adhesive: Informational or instructional labels, located interior, exterior, or underhood, which are hung on

9、 the vehicle. The label must remain legible until the vehicle reaches the consumer. Sewn In: Informational or instructional labels, interior only, and sewn into a vehicle component such as a seat, seatbelt webbing, or head rest. These labels must remain intact for the life of the vehicle. Removable:

10、 Informational or instructional labels or protective films located interior, exterior or underhood. Removable labels are not intended to remain intact for the life of the vehicle. Removable labels are considered to be temporary for convenience inventory or process management. Protective films contai

11、ning no printed information are considered removable labels Removable labels are intended to be easily removed by hand and non-staining to the substrate they are applied to. The labels are hand applied at room temperature and must remain legible and in place until they are removed by the consumer or

12、 manufacturing facility. Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA): Informational or instructional labels located interior, exterior or underhood. PSA labels are intended to remain legible and in position for the life of the vehicle. PSA labels are NOT approved for seatbelt webbing. Maximum bond strength is

13、 reached after 72 hours, but within 20 minutes initial strength makes them difficult to remove. The labels are hand applied in the assembly plant or at the Tier One supplier facility. PSA High Abrasion: Same as PSA but for labels located in a high abrasion environment such as the seat, carpet, or un

14、protected exterior. PSA Label Security Feature: PSA labels described above but with unique characteristics designed to show evidence that a part on a vehicle or its information has been tampered with, altered and/or counterfeit. The label security feature(s) could include, but are not limited to, UV

15、 foot print, self-destruction upon attempted removal, infra red traceable ink or adhesive or anti-counterfeit printing. The intent of the security feature is to allow field investigators the ability to authenticate genuine security labels. Heat Applied: Informational or instructional labels that are

16、 located anywhere in the vehicle. They are intended to remain legible for the life of the vehicle. There are two types of heat applied labels: 1. Heat transfer which is an ink base with a protective coating and adhesive. 2. Heat seal which is a multi-layer film consisting of a heat-activated adhesiv

17、e. The labels are applied at the Tier One supplier facility per the label supplier process instructions. Heat Applied High Abrasion: Same as heat applied but with a different construction that resists abrasion and is applied to the carpet, seat or unprotected exterior locations. Heat Applied Very Hi

18、gh Abrasion: Heat applied labels to seatbelt webbing. In Mold/Post Mold: Instructional or informational labels that are applied at the Tier One supplier facility. For in mold, the label is placed into the injection molding tool prior to molding the part. In Post mold or pad print, silkscreen paint i

19、s applied to the part. They are intended to remain legible for the life of the vehicle. Instructional Tapes: Printable PSA roll tape for identification labeling of underbody parts. The tape is not required to remain intact for the life of the vehicle but remain intact through assembly. ENGINEERING M

REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 LABEL SUBSTRATE COMPATIBILITY MANAGEMENT All labels meeting these perfo

31、rmance specifications must have Supplement A completely filled out and signed by Ford Materials Engineering, the label supplier, and the Tier One supplier. Compatibility of the label adhesive with substrate material is the responsibility of the Tier One supplier. The Tier One shall have the label te

32、sted on any additional substrates against the applicable performance specification requirements. If the requirements are met, a new Supplement A shall be signed and documented with the addition/change in substrate material. 3.3 CONDITIONING AND TEST CONDITIONS Unless otherwise noted, the test specim

33、en consists of a label affixed to the production substrate material. The labels must be applied to the production representative substrate using a production representative process. The substrate material may be taken from the actual part or may be a production-representative plaque (having grain if

34、 appropriate.) 3.4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON SUPPLEMENT A All Labels Requirements apply for all specifications. 3.4.1 Thickness Report label face stock and adhesive thickness on Supplement A. Report release liner type and thickness on Supplement A. 3.4.2 Base film/Adhesive/Release Liner/Print Method

35、 Report basic material type for each layer of the label on Supplement A. if applicable. 3.4.3 Label Print Color Report ink color(s) used on the label on Supplement A. 3.4.4 Application Substrate Report the material the label was affixed to for testing. Unless prior authorization is obtained from Mat

36、erials Engineering, the label must be tested on the substrate(s) it will be adhered to in production. The substrate and substrate color(s) must be recorded on Supplement A. Management of substrate changes is the responsibility of the Tier One supplier, per para 3.2. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIO
