DIN EN 12195-2 – The standard for safe lashing straps

What does DIN EN 12195-2 mean?

DIN EN 12195-2 is the European standard that specifies requirements for textile lashing straps for load securing . It defines the technical properties straps must have to be approved for safe transport .

Often referred to simply as EN 12195-2 , the standard actually refers to the same standard. Using tested tensioning straps for transport ensures that they meet a reliable minimum quality and comply with legal requirements.

Why is DIN EN 12195-2 so important?

The standard specifies the load values a lashing strap must achieve according to DIN EN 12195-2 and how these values are indicated on the strap label . This offers decisive advantages for transport companies, freight forwarders, and private users.:

  • Legal certainty during controls
  • Road safety through tested belts
  • Transparency thanks to clear labeling on each belt
  • Comparability between different manufacturers
Those who use non -certified products risk not only fines but also damage to the cargo or accidents.

Labeling requirement – How to identify compliant lashing straps

A lashing strap according to DIN EN 12195-2 must have a permanently attached label with all relevant data. This includes, among other things,:

  • LC (Lashing Capacity) – the permissible tensile force in daN
  • SHF (Standard Hand Force) – the standard hand force when clamping
  • STF (Standard Tension Force) – the preload that can be achieved with the ratchet
  • Standard specification “DIN EN 12195-2” – the clear proof of conformity
If this marking is missing, the belt may no longer be used in commercial road traffic .

DIN EN 12195-2 Lashing straps in use

Tested DIN EN 12195-2 lashing straps are used in all areas of logistics and private transport. They are particularly indispensable for heavy loads such as machinery or pallets .

Typical areas of application:

  • Freight forwarding and freight transport – securing truck loads
  • Crafts & Construction – Transport of building materials
  • Private sector – furniture and moving transport
A lashing strap DIN EN 12195-2 offers maximum safety because it has been manufactured and tested according to strictly defined standards.

Differences to non-standardized belts

Our comparison has shown that belts without certification often lose stability more quickly, have weaker seams or are insufficiently labelled.

With a lashing strap DIN EN 12195-2, however, it is ensured that:

  • the tear resistance is tested
  • the seams meet certain minimum standards
  • the ratchet mechanism works reliably
  • the label remains permanently legible
In short : only with certified belts do you have complete safety.

Conclusion – Safety through standards

DIN EN 12195-2 is not just a regulation, but a guarantee for greater safety in road traffic . Anyone who relies on lashing straps that comply with DIN EN 12195-2 can rely on tested quality – whether for professional transport or private use .
