L'Associació de Perforadors Professionals is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information about body piercing to piercers, professionals sanitaris, legisladors, i al públic en general. Socially and legislatively, body piercing is situated within the greater body modification community. As a result, we recognize that our role extends beyond the discipline of body piercing. Our position on body art practices such as tattooing, cosmetic tattooing, branding, scarification, suspension, and other forms of body modification is as follows:

Effects of Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) on Steam Sterilisation Processes

“A study conducted by Prof. von Eiff of University of Münster in hospitals in North Rhine Westphalia and Lower Saxony revealed that, in particular, 40% of hollow instruments released for use were not sterile (4). One reason for such problems is that the classic biological and/or well-integrated chemical indicators can attest to the sterility of supplies only at those locations at which they are positioned. But in general these indicators cannot be placed at those sites within the instrument which are most difficult to access, hence the established practice of using such indicators is not suitable for providing insights into the sterility of lumened devices.”

My articles at http://jewelry.piercing.org/ and http://brnskll.com/shares/titanium-standards-why-not-g23/ explain that the two most effective Titanium standards are alloyed ASTM F136 and pure ASTM F67, the most common being the former as it is stronger, harder and easier to polish. Both are used for permanent surgical implants.

Sharpies per a l'etiquetatge

“Sharpies la majoria no han estat validats per a ús industrial, o per al seu ús en les condicions de l'esterilització. Hi ha un parell de marcadors de Sharpie que s'ajusten a la D4236 de norma ASTM que significa que el producte s'ha avaluat per un toxicologist per la toxicitat aguda i crònica i la fitxa de dades de seguretat (SDS) identifica els ingredients com la presentació de qualsevol risc de salut crònic, juntament amb les instruccions d'ús segur. Els llapis que porten el segell d'AP amb la notació “conforme a la norma ASTM D4236″ (dreta) són els marcadors que poden ser utilitzats per etiquetar els seus paquets.”
