Chain Sling Identification Tags are critical, mandatory safety components for all alloy chain slings, required by safety regulations to verify the lifting assembly's safe working parameters.
Essential for meeting EN 818-4 and global safety regulations. These tags ensure your rigging gear is identifiable and traceable.
Available in Aluminium, Galvanized Steel, or Stainless Steel 304 to withstand harsh industrial environments, salt spray, and corrosion.
Offered in Octagon (Grade 80 style), Decagon, or Rectangular shapes to suit different regional standards, sling grades, or branding requirements.
Ample space for Screen Printing or Etching critical data: Manufacturer ID, Chain Grade, WLL, Legs, Reach, and Serial Number.
If the identification tag is missing or illegible, the sling must be immediately removed from service. It cannot be used until properly re-certified and re-tagged by a competent person.

EN 818-4 - Safety Requirements for Lifting Accessories
The Machinery Directive stipulates that where chain with welded links is used for lifting accessories it is to be of short line type and for the purposes of this standard this is chain having a ratio of nominal pitch to nominal size of 3:1.
This European Standard specifies the requirements related to safety, methods of rating and testing of single-, two-, three-, four-leg and endless chain slings assembled by:
using short link grade 8 medium tolerance lifting chain conforming to EN 818-2 together with the appropriate range of components of the same grade.
