The Kiaro! D family of printers achieves BS5609 Certfication

The Kiaro! D family of label printers have officially passed the BS5609 Certification for GHS labels. The Kairo! D family are available in three models for any sized label, and all are able to produce BS5609-compliant labels.

What does BS5609 Certification mean exactly?

BS5609 certification is the internationally recognised British Standard for pressure-sensitive adhesive labels used for overseas shipping. Also known as the Marine Immersion Label Testing Standard. Chemical manufacturers refer to this standard when their labels are used on hazardous chemical containers transported by overseas shipping.
The certification establishes whether or not the labels remain adhesive and readable when coming into prolonged contact with the abrasive nature of both sea water and sand.
Elements, including those required by GHS, such as red and black ink of GHS pictograms, hazard statements and health warnings all must remain identifiable on the label with slight or no colour change or print removal in order to pass BS5609 certification. 



The Kiaro! D family consists of three models 

	The Kiaro! D Label Printer Variable colour shoe box labels, hardware labels, electrical labels, lighting labels, industrial product labels, and colour warehouse labels are examples of ideal uses of the Kiaro! D. Its reliable operation, 5.9 ips print speed, and 1200 dpi print quality make the Kiaro! D a star performer for your packaging room or production facility. Like the original Kiaro!, the Kiaro! D prints labels from 1”- 4” wide and up to more than 15” in length. The Kiaro! D is compatible with matte polypropylene and paper label materials and doesn’t require lamination to make durable labels.
	The Kiaro! 200 D Label Printer The Kiaro! 200D is the quintessential extra-wide label printer, capable of making durable labels in large sizes for gallon jugs, shipping drums, pallets, cartons, and cases – all in full CMYK colour.
	The Kiaro! 50 D Label Printer  The Kiaro! 50D is small and tough. It prints small, durable labels that withstand big challenges from industrial environments. The Kiaro! 50D is ideal for printing small GHS labels with red and black pictograms that also have brand logos and product graphics in full CMYK colour!
