BS5609 sets strict guidelines for labeling materials to ensure they remain legible, intact, and bonded during transportation on ships, where exposure to saltwater, sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and rough handling is common.
Under the United Nations' Global Harmonization System (GHS) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code, chemical manufacturers transporting dangerous goods on international waters are required to meet BS 5609 specifications.
Using durable labels not only meets legal requirements but also protects safety, minimizes costs, and upholds your brand's reputation. Utilizing inkjet technology eliminates a two-step printing process.
