CL‑9 paperclips, known for their reinforced tension and archival-grade nickel finish, remain in high demand across departments. While their use is authorised for classified annexes, oversized dossiers, and diplomatic bundles, requisitions must be justified and proportionate to actual need.

All requests must be submitted via Form SCB‑17/c, accompanied by a brief description of intended use and, where applicable, a clipping diagram. Bulk requests (more than 12 units) may trigger an automatic review by the Stationery Allocation Subcommittee.

Users are reminded that unauthorised redistribution or informal lending of CL‑9 clips is a disciplinary matter.
