Designation:D793217Standard 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 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 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 can 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 standard.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,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A666 Specification for Annealed or Cold-Worked AusteniticStainless Steel Sheet,Strip,Plate,and Flat BarD374/D374M Test Methods for Thickness of Solid Electri-cal InsulationD975 Specification for Diesel Fuel OilsD996 Terminology of Packaging and Distribution Environ-mentsD1000 Test Methods for Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive-Coated Tapes Used for Electrical and Electronic Applica-tionsD2244 Practice for Calculation of Color Tolerances andColor Differences from Instrumentally Measured ColorCoordinatesD3611 Practice for Accelerated Aging of Pressure-SensitiveTapesD3951 Practice for Commercial PackagingD4332 Practice for Conditioning Containers,Packages,orPackaging Components for TestingD4814 Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition EngineFuelD6210 Specification for Fully-Formulated Glycol Base En-gine Coolant for Heavy-Duty EnginesD6252/D6252M Test Method for PeelAdhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Label Stocks at a 90 AngleG195 Guide for Conducting Wear Tests Using a RotaryPlatform Abraser2.2 Department of Defense Standards:3MIL-STD-810 Environmental Engineering Considerationsand Laboratory TestsMIL-STD-2073-1 Standard Practice for Military PackagingMIL-DTL-83133 Turbine Fuel,Aviation,Kerosene Type,JP-8(NATO F-34),NATO F-35,and JP-8+100(NATOF-37)2.3 Society of Automotive Engineers Standards:4SAE J183 Engine Oil Performance and Engine ServiceClassificationSAE J300 Engine Oil Classification1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 onPackaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D10.14 on Tape andLabels.Current edition approved Sept.1,2017.Published September 2017.Originallyapproved in 2014.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D7932 14.DOI:10.1520/D7932-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Copies of these documents are available from DLA Document Services,Building 4/D,700 Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5094,http:/quicksearch.dla.mil.4Copies of these documents are available from Society ofAutomotive Engineers(SAE),400 Commonwealth Dr.,Warrendale,PA 15096-0001.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 2.4 Other:ISO/IEC 15415 Information Technology Automatic Iden-tification and Data Capture Techniques Bar Code PrintQuality Test Specification Two Dimensional Symbols5ISO/IEC 15416 Information Technology Automatic Iden-tification and Data Capture Techniques Bar Code PrintQuality Test Specificati
