Practical information regarding the use and care of lashing straps
These temperature ranges may alter depending on the chemical envi-
ronment. In this event, you must seek the advice of the manufacturer or
supplier. A change in the environmental temperature during transport
may affect the forces in the webbing. Check the lashing force after
entering warm regions.
8. Lashing straps must be taken out of use or returned to the manufacturer
for repair if they show any signs of damage. The following points are
considered to be signs of damage:
- for webbing (that must be taken out of use): tears, cuts, nicks and
breaks in load-bearing fibres and stitches; deformations resulting
from exposure to heat.
- with end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, cracks,
pronounced signs of wear, signs of corrosion. Only lashing straps
bearing identification labels shall be repaired. If there is any accidental
contact with chemical products, the lashing strap must be removed
from service and the manufacturer or supplier consulted.
9. Care should be taken that the lashing strap is not damaged by the
sharp edges of the load on which it is used. Regular visual inspection
before and after each use is recommended.
10. Only legibly marked and labelled lashing straps may be used.
