12、c) BSI BS 5609:1986 ii BSI 02-1999 Foreword This revision of BS 5609 has been prepared under the direction of the Packaging and Freight Containers Standards Committee. It supersedes BS 5609:1978, which is withdrawn. Under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping (Dangerous Goods) Regulations 1981 Sta
13、tutory Instrument 1981 No. 17471) it is obligatory for shippers to durably mark dangerous goods packages for carriage by sea. “Durably marked” means that the label or other marking in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations is such as to remain identifiable on packages which have been at
14、 least three months in the sea and the Regulations state that “durable” shall be construed accordingly. Labels manufactured to BS 5609 are regarded by the Department of Transport as complying with the Regulations and the Department from time to time issues a Merchant Shipping Notice listing firms wh
15、ich are said to supply labels to the standard. Experience has shown that compliance with the performance requirements set out in BS 5609:1978 results in the production of a printed label which is capable, when properly applied, of providing the required durable marking. This revision, which makes on
16、ly minimal changes to the performance requirements in respect of adhesion properties, has now been subdivided into sections in order to provide essential guidance to users in addition to specifying requirements. Section 1 contains information concerning the obligation of the label user in connection
17、 with the marking of dangerous goods packages for carriage by sea and gives guidance on the effective application of labels. Sections 2 and 3 contain the specification for the labels. Since label manufacture is essentially a two stage operation involving adhesive coating followed by printing, sectio
18、n 2 relates to the label base material and its adhesive and section 3 to the printing of the label. Section 4 gives guidance to users on the selection and use of labels including recommended tests to check label performance on specific substrates. A British Standard does not purport to include all t
19、he necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii

General 0 Introduction 0.1 Responsibility of shippers As stated in the foreword, it is obligatory for shippers to durably mark dangerous goods packages2) for carriage by sea. To emphasize that responsibility
22、for this rests with the shipper, this revision of BS 5609 has been expanded to include guidance to shippers to enable them to discharge those responsibilities. Compliance with section 2 of the standard ensures adequate performance of the label base material and its adhesion to an aluminium substrate
23、 under marine conditions. Compliance with section 3 of this standard ensures adequate colour fastness and durability of the inks or dyes when used with a suitable label material. It remains for the shipper, having noted the points outlined in 0.2 to carry out such tests as are necessary to satisfy h
24、imself as to the adequate performance of the labels as applied in normal use to the packages being shipped. Guidance for this purpose is given in section 4. 0.2 Summary of legal requirements The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code3), which applies to shipment of dangerous goods by sea from m
25、ost maritime countries, contains provisions that, unless otherwise provided in the Code, each package containing dangerous goods should be durably marked with the proper shipping name of the contents and should be durably identified with distinctive label(s)4) (or stencil(s) of the labels). It furth
26、er provides that the method of marking the name and affixing the label should be such that the name and label (or stencil) will still be identifiable on packages surviving at least three months immersion in the sea. The UK Merchant Shipping (Dangerous Goods) Regulations 1981, Regulation 9(1), enforc
27、es such provisions and applies to packaged dangerous goods taken on board a ship within the United Kingdom or its territorial waters. Subparagraph (c) of Regulation 9(1) requires that where the outer material of the package survives such immersion, the marking shall be durable (see foreword). Subpar
28、agraph (d) requires that where the outer package will not survive at least three months immersion in the sea, any inner receptacles which will survive shall be durably marked with an indication of the nature of the danger to which the goods give rise. This paragraph is particularly relevant to, for
29、example, small plastics or metal receptacles overpacked in fibreboard cartons. NOTEReference should be made to the Regulations for detailed information while further guidance may be found in Merchant Shipping Notices issued from time to time by the Department of Transport. 1 Scope This British Stand
30、ard 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
31、 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
32、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.

It shall be the responsibili
35、ty of the manufacturer of the label base material to ensure compliance with section 2. It shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer/printer of the printed label to ensure compliance with the requirements of section 3, using label base material that complies with section 2. 3 Definitions For th
36、e purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 printed label a piece of label material of defined dimensions, bearing a text or symbol 3.2 label base material a flexible material to which a pressure-sensitive adhesive has been applied as an integral part of the construction
37、 3.3 pressure-sensitive adhesive an adhesive that produces a permanently tacky film to which a second adherend readily adheres after the brief application of pressure 3.4 substrate the surface to which the label is applied in use, including any coating or finish 3.5 type test a test directed towards
38、 approval of a label base material type to check whether it complies with section 2 of this standard Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Dec 04 13:37:50 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BS 5609:1986 BSI 02-19993 Section 2.
