Cargo Lashing Strap Standards Updated to Enhance Transport Safety

In response to growing demand for safer cargo transportation, industry authorities have reaffirmed and updated the key standards governing cargo lashing straps used in global logistics. These standards, including EN 12195-2 in Europe, GB/T 23914.2 in China, and AS/NZS 4380 in Australia and New Zealand, define the technical requirements, testing methods, and safety factors for lashing straps and ratchet tie-downs.

The updates emphasize improved breaking strength ratings, clearer product labeling, and stricter quality control to ensure straps can withstand the rigors of overland, maritime, and air freight. Industry experts say that adherence to these standards not only reduces the risk of cargo damage but also safeguards personnel and equipment during transport.

Manufacturers are encouraged to certify their products under recognized standards and display compliance markings to meet both domestic and international market requirements. The move is expected to boost buyer confidence and promote safer, more efficient global trade.
