The manufacturer declares these tamper-evident seals compliant with ISO/PAS 17712:2013 requirements; they are designed for demanding freight, transportation and controlled access points. They come in four colours, red, blue, black and green, all at the same price, to distinguish loads or routes. Each case holds 250 seals of a single colour.

Cable seal applications

Seal technical specifications

Installing and inspecting cable seals

Thread the cable through the closure point (door hasp, valve handle, meter box), insert its end into the seal body and pull until the cable is tight and locked. Record the seal number and colour on the shipping document. On arrival, check that the seal is intact and its number matches, then cut the cable with a cable cutter, wearing gloves and eye protection. An opened seal cannot be reused.

FAQ: high-security cable seals

Do these seals comply with ISO/PAS 17712?
