BS EN 12640 is the approved European standard for lashing points on commercial vehicles for goods transportation.
To achieve EN 12640 compliance, your lashing points must adhere to several parameters stated in the British Standard's EN 12640:2001. These parameters include: the way the lashing point is designed & constructed, the number of lashing points required for your operation and whereabouts you position your lashing points along your vehicle.
Each of these parameters is dependent upon your vehicle’s length, minimum distance between lashing points and how much weight your vehicle can legally carry.
