The preceeding is going to be consistent with the regulations for MB & ON.

 

Actually some restrictions are stricter in canada, load securement for example. If you have a 4" strap and thw WLL tag is missingb, in the US the strap is considered rated as the lowest rating per inch for nylon straps. But in canada is any securement device is missing it's markings/wll rating tag they consider it's WLL rating to be 0.

 

The strap is still useable if the WLL is printed on the strap as most, if not all, manufacturers do.

NSC Standard 10: Cargo Securement, Division 3 - Requirements for Cargo Securement Systems, Section 12 Unmarked Securing Devices, and PART 3 - Default Working Load Limits, were deleted September 2010 and the amended version became effective January 1, 2011.

And we all know how nice and clean those straps stay, most of the ones I see are faded from yellow to grey with no discernable writing on them.

I actually heard about this on the radio as a driver got put oos because the markings on his chains were worn to the point the inspector in canada couldn't read them.
