Regulations for lashing points
2023-12-14
Lashing points must withstand the force of the intended lashing to be connected to the lashing point. In contrast to loose cargo securing equipment, the lashing point is an integral part of the cargo carrier (e.g. the vehicle), and the capacity must therefore be determined by the manufacturer of the current cargo carrier, e.g. the body builder.
In the Swedish regulation TSFS 20017:25, but also in the European directive 2014/47/EU, reference is made to the European standard EN 12640. This standard specifies the minimum capacity for lashing points based on the GVM (gross weight). Is also states how many and how tightly lashing points must be placed as well as how the label plate must be designed.
