General information
Different types are adapted to specific use.
Diplomatic and logo tape should be kept under locked conditions.
Adhesive tape with the ICRC logo is used in Geneva only; field delegations use a neutral tape with a red line on a white background.
PVC is usually more expensive than polypropylene, but stronger and less noisy.
Some types of polypropylene are acceptable in terms of strength and noise; check before purchasing.
Random check of actual roll length is recommended at delivery.
Direct sunlight, heat or damp will adversely affect the performance of the tape. Tests should be performed to define the acceptable type before purchasing.
