Technical description lashing products
All of our lashings come equipped with three or four labels, whether they are made from r-PET or other materials. These labels contain valuable information that is crucial for the proper use and maintenance of the lashing. This article provides a detailed explanation of what each label means.
The blue label on your lashing carries essential information that you need to understand. It is a critical component of the lashing, as the lashing cannot be approved if the label is missing or unreadable. If the label is lost between two service inspections, the lashing should not be used.
In this article, we break down the information on the blue label and explain how you can verify when your product was last inspected and approved.
The part of the label that is sewn between the webbings is hidden from view but remains attached even if the visible part of the label is pulled off. This allows the product to be tracked, though it doesn’t mean the lashing is still safe to use.
Here is what the information on the blue label represents:
Understanding these labels ensures you use your lashings safely and in compliance with regulations.
Beneath the blue label on your lashing, you’ll find two white labels that provide additional important information.
This label includes recommended uses for your lashing, along with the temperature range in which it can be safely used. There is also a QR code that links directly to our online instructions for all POWERTEX products, providing easy access to detailed usage guidelines.
On the reverse side of this label, you’ll find instructions on how to correctly thread the webbing into the ratchet, ensuring you can properly tighten and later release the lashing. For optimal safety and effectiveness, we always recommend using edge or corner protection with your lashings.
The second white label indicates that the product is partially made from recycled materials, specifically designed to minimize the CO2 footprint. This label is part of our Aspire range™, which focuses on sustainability. You can learn more about our Aspire range™ through the provided resources.
By understanding the information on these white labels, you can ensure that you’re using your lashings safely, effectively, and in an environmentally responsible way.
