Labelling rating plates

Rating plates communicate critical technical data, including manufacturer, serial/model number, date of manufacture, load rating, electrical specifications, operating/maintenance instructions, and other required data.

In addition, the rating plates on electrical, electronic, and household appliances are subject to a wide range of harsh environmental conditions depending on the function of the product:

  • Heat for an oven or refrigerator motor
  • Abrasion and dust for a drill
  • Cleaning chemicals or corrosive food products for a kitchen appliance

Current regulations

Within the range of ARMOR-IIMAK Thermal Transfer ribbons there are solutions for complying with EU Directives 2011/65/EC (RoHS) and 2002/96/EC (WEEE), as well as meeting the restrictions of halogen contents and the UL standard on printed label durability.
