ISO 17712 Cable Seals

 

 

1. Security seals must be unique, difficult to counterfeit, and clearly marked with the corresponding information.
2. The design should allow for easy inspection to determine whether the seal is being used properly or if its application is faulty. There must be no room for doubt.
3. They are single-use devices: once removed, the seals must be destroyed and rendered unusable. They must provide clear evidence of tampering.
4. They must meet the required strength thresholds specified by the relevant standards and pass all tests conducted by accredited bodies.

1. Indicating Seals

These are plastic or metal seals that are easy to remove after being applied. As container seals, this type is typically used on empty containers that need to be transported over short distances, such as within the same city. These seals ensure that the container is clean and suitable for loading. Naturally, indicating security seals must bear regulatory markings, including a serial number and the company logo.

2. Security Seals

This type of seal provides a higher level of security to prevent unauthorized access to cargo containers. The main difference between this category and the next is the level of restriction-here, security is more moderate. In any case, any tampering or breaking of the seal should be clearly visible during inspection. These seals also include a serial number and company logo.

3. High Security Seals

Made from extremely strong materials such as metal or steel cable, these seals are designed to prevent and resist any tampering or forced opening. Specialized tools are required for their removal. Laser marking is commonly used for these seals due to its high resistance to environmental conditions. The classification "H" (for High Security Seals) designates this type of seal.

 

 

The user of security seals should follow best practices for their use, as discussed in our article. In summary, these practices include:

Keeping a detailed log of all seals (and noting any instances of breakage, where applicable)

Properly storing unused seals

Monitoring the application process to ensure seals are applied correctly

All of these activities should be overseen by a responsible person appointed by the company.
