What is BS EN 60454-3-11- Pressure sensitive adhesive tape specifications about?
BS EN 60454-3-11 is a part of IEC 60454-3. BS EN 60454-3-11 contains the requirements for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, made with combined backings based on polyester film:
- PET film/glass filament combination tapes
- Creped cellulosic paper/PET film combination tapes
- PET film/polyester non-woven combination tapes
- PET film/epoxy combination tapes.
Materials which conform to BS EN 60454-3 meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application, and not based on BS EN 60454-3 alone.
Who is BS EN 60454-3-11- Pressure sensitive adhesive tape specifications for?
BS EN 60454-3-11 on pressure sensitive adhesive tape specifications is useful for:
- Pressure sensitive adhesive tape manufacturers
- Manufacturer of heavy electrical equipment
- Manufacturer of electrical appliances
- Laminate manufacturers
- Manufacturers of small electrical equipment
Why should you use BS EN 60454-3-11- Pressure sensitive adhesive tape specifications?
With the improvement in adhesive technology, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes have become very common as a fastening solution. Due to their abundant use, it is important to know the materials which are used to make them and their properties.
BS EN 60454-3-11 provides specifications for a variety of materials. BS EN 60454-3-11 can help manufacturers to choose the right material for manufacturing of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes of required specification. BS EN 60454-3-11 can also be used by power distribution companies and electrical equipment manufacturers as a guide to choose appropriate tape for fastening wires.
Improper use of pressure sensitive adhesive tapes can make electric circuits unsafe and shorten life of equipment, which can be changed by using BS EN 60454-3-11.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 60454-3-11:2007 is a European Standard it supersedes EN 60454-3-11:1998, EN 60454-3-15:2001, EN 60454-3-16:2003 and EN 60454-3-17:2001. The main changes about EN 60454-3-11:1998 is the consolidation of Parts 3-11, 3-15, 3-16 and 3-17.
