Richard, “Permanent” label is not a term used in Product Safety standards.
When refer to markings on use “permanent affixed”. This characteristics is evaluated by the Durability of Markings test. Many standard specify in which way and which are the chemicals used to rub the markings for a defined time. When evaluating durability, the effect of normal use (environment, etc.) on markings is also to be taken into account.
