Rating plate – the materials which it is made of and its content are specified by the EU machine and electric directives and harmonised standards concerning groups of devices. It contains basic data and information which characterise the device and its manufacturer. Regardless of the type of material it is made of and how it is mounted, it is required that the plate remains readable throughout the whole period of usage of the device. A rating plate in the form of a printed self-adhesive foil label is successfully used on devices in many industries. The most convenient, fastest and most popular method of printing a foil rating plate is thermal transfer technology. (more…)
