These Sling ID Barcode Tags feature a unique barcode image & corresponding barcode number. We use the Code 39 barcode system. The label material is washable.
By having a barcode image on a sling means that instead of manually typing an ID into a compatible asset management system, you can simply scan the barcode with your smartphone or reader.
Sling Inspections
The International Standard for Slings is ISO 10535: Hoists for the transfer of disabled persons – Requirements and test methods. To be compliant, you must conduct and record 6 Monthly Inspections. You must also conduct a Sling Inspection before use to ensure it is safe to use. These Inspections Before Use, although required, do not need to be documented.
Also available: Sling ID Blank Tags.
The Tags are intended to stay on the sling permanently, and are therefore required to withstand general sling cleaning. Consequently, excessive chlorine/bleach can damage any material, including sling material. Slings should never be placed directly next to the heat source in dryers, as excessive heat can badly affect the sling and Tag material. If necessary to tumble dry, ensure the drum is cool and the dryer is on a cool setting. Only tumble dry for a minimum time. We do not take responsibility if excessive heat destroys the plastic in the Tag. Variations in washing processes, and the variability of other items in the wash, may mean a Tag becomes detached. A warm tumble dry may curl the edges of the arrowhead, which may contribute to a Tag detaching. We recommend marking the barcode number on the sling, so if a Tag does detach, the correct Tag and can be re-attached to the correct sling.
