On-Demand, BS5609-Compliant Printing is Available

Any drum containing chemicals placed in the hold of a ship must have a label that meets the British Standard BS5609 (BS5609).

This standard outlines the requirements for all printed pressure-sensitive, adhesive-coated labels created for marine use. These labels are required under the International Maritime Dangerous Goods certification program and are used to identify the contents of the drum along with important safety information that a handler needs to know. Because of the salt air, seawater, and the potential for chemical exposure, chemical drum labels must be extremely durable. This standard carefully defines both the label material and the inks that go on it.

Instead of waiting for an outside company to create compliant BS5609 labels, most companies use GHS label printers to print their own BS5609-compliant labels. This saves time and allows them to make quick changes as needed for compliance and marketing purposes. Optimedia Labs sells several color GHS label printers.
