QB/T 1745 consists of two parts under the general title Fountain pen inks:
——Part 1: Non-pigment inks;
——Part 2: Carbonic inks.
This is Part 1 of QB/T 1745.
This part is a revision of QB/T 1745-1993 Fountain pen inks.
The following main technology changes have been made with respect to GB/T 1745-1993:
——The standard name is modified;
——The application scope is modified; (see Clause 1; Clause 1 of Edition 1993);
——The product classification by color is modified (see 3.1; 3.1 of Edition 1993);
——The product classification by usage is added (see 3.3);
——The requirements for black ink and red ink are added (see 4.1);
——The requirements for document writing ink are added (see 4.2);
——The definition of test method is deleted (see Clause 6; Clause 5 of Edition 1993);
——The light fastness is modified as light resistance, the test method is modified (see 4.1 and 6.5; 4.1 and 5.5 of Edition 1993);
——The test methods for diffusion, water resistance and interval writing are modified (see 4.1, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.7; 4.1, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.7 of Edition 1993);
——The capacity tolerance is modified as net quantity (see 4.3 and 6.15; 4.2 and 5.10 of Edition 1993);
——The requirements and test methods for scuff resistance, ethanol resistance, hydrochloric acid resistance, ammonia resistance and bleaching resistance are added (see 4.2, 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14);
——The requirements and test method for migration element content are added (see 4.4 and 6.18);
——The environmental conditions are added (see Clause 5).
This part was proposed by the China National Light Industry Council.
This part is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Writing Instrument of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 378).
This part replaces the former professional standard QB/T 1745-1993 Fountain pen inks issued by the Ministry of Light Industry from the implementation date hereof.
The previous editions of this part are as follows:
——QB/T 551-1984 and QB/T 1745-1993.
