In general, most product safety standards have a clause titled something like "Durability of markings".
My standards database search engine (written in Python of course, woot) says that label material requirements are addressed by: UL 969 ANSI Z535 IPC-A-610 sections 7 of 60601-1, 60335-1 section 1.2 of 60950-1 section 5 of 60065 Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Gartman, Richard Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 6:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: what is a permanent label All, I am in need of some guidance. When placing a label on a product that contains manufactures and regulatory information, what standards or test need to be followed to ensure it is a "permanent" label? Regards W.
