Ive heard of something called the PAT test. Is it something I can do to determine if a product really is photo-safe as the manufacturer claims?

If you go to the terms and definitions section of this website you will find that the PAT is a standard test that checks to see if items are safe for use in and around photos and negatives. Unfortunately for consumers, it is a very specialized test that can only be performed at professional testing facilities and as such can be very costly. That is why we recommend that people check to see if the manufacturer of the product has had the PAT performed for those products. You might also want to check the date of testing to make sure its been tested in the last few years. Product formulas change, but manufacturers dont always retest.
