(OP)
Does anyone know of a standard (MIL SPEC, ASME, SAE,etc.) for labels?  I am trying to spec an 8 x 10 diagram of an electrical connector hookup and I don't think "adhesive-backed silver milar" covers all the possibilities.  I need things like adhesive creep, film thickness, UV tolerance, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, etc.

RE: Placards

Try MIL-DTL-15024

RE: Placards

9mm Scotchcal.  Average printing companies have it, they can print in colour, it lasts, you can print on it afterward, and you can get the adhesive off with a bit of MEK.  

For higher durability, you could look at laser etching stainless steel sheets.

RE: Placards

Would MIL-STD-130L, Identification Marking of US Military Property help? This has numerous references to applicable standards.
