STANDARDS
Interior printed on 100 % recycled paper, made up mostly of post-consumer waste. Using non-chlorine bleach, the production of this catalog respects the environment by reducing energy consumption, as well as air and water pollution.Received the 2004 European award for the environment.Cover printed on paper essentially made of wood from PEFC managed forests (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes).
PRODUCT MARKING AND TRACKINGSince 1992, all Petzl personal protective equipment (PPE) items have been marked with a tracking number. This number consists of 5 digits and a letter. The first 2 digits indicate the year the product was manufactured, the following 3 digits indicate the production date (from 1 to 366) and the letter represents the person who performed the final inspection.Textile products, helmets and most metallic items also have an additional individual identifier. The system makes it easier to track PPE effectively.
