5-2 | High Performance Roundsling Identification Tag Requirements
Per ASME B30.9 …
A high performance roundsling shall be marked to include:
- Name or trademark of manufacturer, or if repaired, the entity performing repairs
- Manufacturer’s code or stock number
- Rated load for at least one hitch type and the angle upon which it is based
- Core yarn – fiber type(s) or blend
- Cover material, if different from core material
- Number of legs, if more than one
It is the responsibility of the user to maintain the sling identification—ensuring the tag or identification is still in place and is still legible during the life of the sling. If the identification tag is missing or illegible, it is the responsibility of the inspector to remove the sling from service.
