15.8.1 Marking

In addition to the information required by the applicable legislation and standard wire rope slings should bear identification and SWL markings as detailed in Section 1 1.7.1 Marking.

Where such information is on a metal tab or label, it is recommended that the identification marking should also appear on the master link (if fitted) or a ferrule to enable the historical records of the sling, and thus the rest of the information, to be recovered if the tab or label is lost.
