Definition
Security seals are devices designed to provide tamper evidence, ensuring that unauthorized access to secured items or areas is detectable. They are typically used to seal rooms, cabinets, vehicles, or storage facilities, offering a visual indication if someone has tampered with them.
Applications
They are widely used in logistics for shipping containers, trucks, and trailers, as well as in medical emergencies for first aid kits and fire extinguishers. Utility meters and airline duty-free trolleys also commonly use security seals to prevent theft or contamination.
Types and Standards
Security seals come in different levels: high security, security, and indicating seals, each with specific tensile strengths. High security seals, such as bolt seals, are certified to standards like ISO 17712:2013, ensuring they meet international freight requirements.
