It is important to determine whether stationery products used in schools and offices meet the relevant quality and safety standards. In particular, children are vulnerable to stationery. Crayons and drawing instruments containing excess lead pose a chemical hazard if young children take them in their mouths and chew them.
Advanced laboratories carry out a variety of stationery tests to ensure safety and compliance with standards and regulations applicable to many stationery products. These tests are mainly grouped as follows:
Writing instruments (pens, pencils, markers and the like)
Drawing instruments (crayons, paints, sharpeners, rulers, erasers and the like)
Paper products (paper, cardboard, books, notebooks, calendars and the like)
Desktop accessories (scissors, staplers, hole punchers, paper cutters, adhesives, tapes and the like)
Postal and packaging materials (envelopes, plastics and the like)
With the rising standard of living, people attach more importance to the quality of products for children's health. In recent years, a wide range of stationery standards have been developed, including pencils, workbooks, writing ink, plastic writing bags, pencil pouches, pencils, staples and correction fluid. Inspections on these products have also increased.
Various stationery materials are tested in the laboratory, such as weight, fastness, contaminants and tensile strength. In these tests, practical suitability, usage characteristics and safety criteria for all kinds of stationery materials are taken into consideration.
The following are a few standards that are based on the stationery tests performed by the competent authorities:
TS ISO 11540 Writing and marking tools - Features of covers to reduce choking risk
TS 12290 Crayons - Wooden body
BS 7272 Writing and marking tools - Specification for final closures to reduce choking risk
TS EN 71-1 + A1 Toy safety - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
