1、Designation: D7932 14Standard Specification forPrinted, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Labels for Use inExtreme Distribution Environments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7932; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of
2、 revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides a standard means to test andmeasure performance characteristics of
3、printed, pressure-sensitive adhesive labels for containers, particularly containersto be used in extreme distribution environments (for example,hazardous materials labels, aerospace, military containers). Forthe purposes of this specification, an extreme distributionenvironment is one in which it ca
4、n be reasonably expected toexperience direct exposure to deteriorating chemicals, weather,elevated/cold temperatures, and other environmental andphysical elements for an extended period of time.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standar
5、d. Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, assoc
6、iated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
