DIN EN 12030:1996-07

The document specifies the method to determine the ability of an adhesive tape to resist impact forces. An adhesive tape may posses adequate breaking and tear strengths to withstand a steady force, but it may lack sufficient impact strength to withstand the shock forces sometimes experienced in use. The maximum width of adhesive tape tested by thids method is 25 mm. For rolls of adhesive tape of this width or less, the impact resistance measured corresponds to that of adhesive tape as supplied commercially, i.e. with factory-cut edges.
