Description

This British Standard specifies requirements for printed pressure-sensitive, adhesive-coated labels suitable for use under marine conditions.

It describes methods for the determination of resistance to marine immersion, weathering, temperature cycling and abrasion and for the determination of legibility and print key effectiveness and includes a recommended method for the evaluation of label adhesion to specific substrates.

The standard is subdivided to separate the requirements for the adhesive-coated label base material from those for the printed adhesive-coated label.

Since such labels are used particularly for the labelling of dangerous goods when transit by sea is intended, the importance of proper application is recognized by the provision in section 4 of guidance to users on label selection and application.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Labels for adhesion to compatible substrates for use under marine conditions. Performance requirements and methods of test are given both for the pressure-sensitive adhesive coated label base material and the final printed label. Guidance is also provided for use on label selection and application.
