BS 5609 is a specification for printed pressure-sensitive, adhesive coated labels for marine use, which include requirements for the label base material. Labels are typically used for identification, warning and instruction.
BS 5609 testing is a requirement for self-adhesive drum labels needing International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) certification. Testing includes a three-month exposure of labeled test plates in salt water at mid-tide.
