2.8.2 Equipment that does not have adequate marking made by the manufacturer should be indelibly marked in a manner that does not affect its integrity, e.g. by the use of: plastic or metal tags, which can be stamped with data and fixed with cable ties; a suitable paint; a suitable adhesive tape. (The paint or adhesive should be of a type that is not capable of damaging the component being marked and should be applied and positioned so that it cannot obscure any defect.)2.8.3 Equipment such as ropes and harnesses could be indelibly marked by various methods, e.g. by marking their identification on a tape, which is then fixed in place by a heat-shrunk clear plastic cover. Lengths cut off a main rope could have the identity transferred to them sequentially; e.g. a piece of rope cut off a main rope numbered A1 could be numbered A1/1, A1/2 etc. Connectors are often colour coded to indicate an in-date inspection period, as older items often lack unique identification and marking by the user can be difficult.
