European foreword
This document (EN 12641-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 119
“Intermodal Loading Units and Cargo Securing (ILUCS)”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2020.

The main technical changes in comparison to the previous edition are:
— the addition of clause 3 ‘Terms and definitions’;
— the elimination of the discord between text and formula in the old clause 3.3, now clause 4.3;
— the wire hook has been added;
— the description of the testing methods has been adjusted to the reality and the mass per unit area of
the tarpaulin material (g/m²) was added on the marking.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
