New Solution for Better Safety

During the end of 2008 a Safety Alert was issued to warn about dangerous fake copies of the Hydrostatic release unit, the Hammar H20.

Due to the seriousness of this matter a new solution has been devleoped to make sure that you enjoy the safety and functionality of the original Hammar H20.

Hammar H20 All H20 items produced as from 24.02.2009 include a new, unique Holospot® security marking. This marking will help you distinguish the original Hammar quality from dangerous fake copies. In addition we have also moved the serial number and production date to a new position next to the Holospot® security marking.

Here is what you should look for:

Every new Hammar H20 features a 5 x 10 mm silver black Holospot® label with a six number alphanumeric code, e. g. 0000ZW. Above the code the Hammar logo can be seen.

Please check that:

• The Holospot® shimmers in rainbow colours when put under direct light.

• The alphanumeric code is different on each product.

• The serial number and production date can be found to the left of the Holospot®.

Note:

As from 24.02.2009: The new security marking can be found on each original Hammar H20 produced as from 24.02.2009. Before 24.02.2009: To check the authenticity of H20 products produced before 24.02.2009, we recommend that you read the instructions from the Safety Alert at www.cmhammar.com.

For your safety:

• Always purchase your Hammar products through approved distributors or authorised service points for life rafts and Epirbs.

• Make sure that you receive the Hammar multilingual product manual and a raft label with each unit (for life raft H20) or Hammar marking instruction (for Epirb H20).
