Section 2 Testing: Assesses the durability of the label material and adhesive to ensure it can withstand anything from prolonged salt water immersion to UV exposure.
Section 3 Testing: Tests the entire system responsible for the printed content: label, ribbon/ink, and printer. Everything must work together to meet the standard.
A BS 5609 compliant label is not just a durable label; it is a meticulously tested safety component designed to survive the harshest marine environments, providing critical hazard information even in the event of an accident at sea.
This isn’t just about picking a label off the shelf — you need the right combination of material, adhesive, printer, and ribbon, all tested and proven to meet BS 5609 standards.
