IEC 60454-3-8: 2006 contains the requirements for: glass fabric tapes with pressure-sensitive adhesive, cellulose acetate woven fabric tapes with rubber thermosetting adhesive, combined cellulose-viscose woven fabric tapes, one side covered with a thermoplastic material, the other side with thermosetting adhesive. Materials which conform to this specification 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 this specification alone. This bilingual version (2014-07) corresponds to the English version, published in 2006-02. This third edition of IEC 60454-3-8 replaces the second edition, published in 1998, IEC 60454-3-9, published in 1998 and IEC 60454-3-13, published in 1995. It represents a consolidation of the three, above-mentioned publications in which all requirements have now been been confirmed. Keywords: pressure sensitive adhesive tapes
