Lightfastness Test Results - PDF file

CPSA members (regular and corporate) may request the results of our lightfastness testing in PDF format by email or regular mail. This document lists pencils by brand but does not include information about testing methods or boxes to fill in with each color. The PDF file is free, though there is a small shipping and handling fee for a hardcopy of the results.

  • To obtain a PDF file by email, contact the Product Research Director.

  • To obtain a printed copy of the list (about 18 pages), send an SASE (9x12 envelope with postage for 5 ounces - currently $1.68) and $1.00 for handling to the address below.
