This standarddifferskom the September1991edilionof DIN30672-1in that:

a) requiremenlsfor thickness,lensilstrengthand tensilestrainat breakare no longerincluded;
b) the requiredsaponificationnumberhasbeenchanged;
c) the requiredindentationhardnessfor strss classesA and B has been increasedand the residual
thicknessis now the samefor all typesof material;
d) requirements
for impactstrengthare morestringent;
e) requirements
for peel strengthhavebeenamended;
l) lhe shea.strengthtest has been extendedto coveropsralingtemperatures
of up to 30 "C, exceptfor
petrolatumtapesof stressclassB;
g) melhodsof tes! for delerminingthe resistanceof the subskateto ageingat etevatedtemperatures
and
the coating'sfreedomlrom poresare no longerincluded.
