Inspection
·
Webbing
- check for cuts, tears, abrasion, scorch marks, burns, chemical attack or severely discoloured patches.
Local abrasion, distinct from general wear is often caused by passage of the webbing over sharp and/or abrasive
edges, and may cause serious loss of strength. Slight damage and scuffing to outer fibres may be considered safe,
however more serious levels of abrasion and reduction in width or thickness or serious distortion of the weave pattern
must lead to immediate rejection.
·
Stitching
- check for broken, loose, worn or abraded stitches or severely discoloured patches to the stitching. Reject
if present.
·
Product marking
– check that the product markings including the serial number are legible. Reject if they are not.
