The service takes regulations around the globe into account, with careful review by technical and compliance specialists. Complete Compliance gives you the confidence that you are fully compliant with legislation,” says Cor Verhart, product compliance group manager.
Every adhesive innovation must take into account related compliance information such as food regulations, UL certification, BS 5609 certification, plastic regulations, REACH, ISO and regional issues.
The Avery Dennison compliance certification service, available in 5 languages, allows users to generate their own individual compliance statements in just a few minutes and learn more about regulatory requirements. It’s an important new tool that helps label converters and brand owners identify the right material for a specific application – and demonstrate that the material meets all current regulatory demands for its proposed use.BS 5609 Certification Service As a leader in labelling materials, Avery Dennison follows strict test protocols aimed at certifying a variety of label stock according to BS 5609.
