The specification applies to closed and reinforced fiberboard boxes and tapes that bind and transport items. The specification details the material requirements, physical properties (e.g. adhesion force, elongation, breaking strength, thickness), and Miscellaneous characteristics (e.g. weathering resistance, size, Color, and transparency) of the tapes. Type IV tapes have additional physical performance requirements. The standard also covers finished product inspection, sampling methods, and accelerated aging testing. Users are required to comply with relevant safety specifications and operate in accordance with international standards principles.
