Labelling of electrostatic FIBCs

The rules regarding the electrical properties of the labels are as follows:

Type B FIBC labels

These labels shall not be made from material with surface resistivity less than 1,0 × 10^9 Ω.

Type B example label:

Type C FIBC labels

a)  Labels greater than 100 cm² in area shall not be made from material with surface resistivity greater than 1,0 × 10^12 Ω.

b)  Labels made from materials with surface resistivity less than 1,0 × 10^7 Ω can be used, provided the resistance to
groundable point is less than 1,0 × 10^7 Ω.

c)  Labels made from materials with surface resistivity between 1,0 × 10^9 Ω and 1,0 × 10^12 Ω can be used.

Type C example label:
Every earthing point shall use this label:

Type D FIBC labels

Labels greater than 100 cm² shall be subjected to ignition testing and shall not cause any ignition when tested.
