Blue label

According to EN12195-2 every PES (polyester) made cargo control product must be supplied with an attached blue label. This label provides information about the technical details of the lashing strap and tracking information about the production time, location and producer. If the label is lost or become unreadable the product cannot be used any more. It also has a hidden part sewed into the lashing material, this way the necessary tracking information can be gained even after losing the visible blue label.
This indicates that there is a strict regulation about the content of the visible and non-visible part of the label.

White label

Contains the generale usage information - according to EN12195-2 - for the lashing strap:

• Inspect the lashings for damage before each use.

• Do not use if there are any damage e.g. cut webbing or deformations in the tensioning mechanism or and fittings.

• Observe the rated assembly strength on the label applied to the lashing mode (observe also EN 12195-1 and EN 12195-2).

• Use protectors for sharp edges (both on the load and the vehicle).

• Avoid heat superior to 100°C.

• Do not twist or knot the webbing.

• The ratchet can be operated only with the maximal allowed hand force.

LC

Maximum force for use in straight pull that a web lashing is designed to sustain in use. According to EN 12195-2 samples must be tested during the production. During the tests the complete lashing strap must sustain 2 x LC force, while the webbing must endure 3 x LC force.

LC tie down

The maximal tie down force affecting the load while the lashing strap sustains the maximum allowed force. The representation of this value is not regulated by EN12195-2, however common speech refer it as the capacity of the lashing strap. For example a "5 ton" lashing strap has an LC value of 2500daN and LC tie down value of 5000daN.
