I wouldn't get all stressed over who made the load bars, as long as the load is properly secured - and I'm pretty sure they will know when they see it.
And yes, governments everywhere are glomming onto new penalties - it beats raising taxes, which might cost them their 'jobs', or just cause folks to start asking how they spent the money they already got, eh?:mad:

These standards have been in place for a long time, my last securement book that I got on paper is 2005 and is almost identical to the one Piper's link.

It even has the same title on some of the pages -

The North American Securement Standards.

Just read that pdf. Looking at appendix A (Default WLL's for unmarked tie downs) I see nothing that seems to resemble a load bar.
They have a category called synthetic webbing which I take to be load strap and a 3 inch one is assumed at least 3000 lbs.

From your other post, Layoutshooter, you would be more than fine using 3 straps/bars front and back on a 5k lb load.

Yeah, I have been looking at it. Just like most of this stuff it is more about ways in increase revenues than anything else. I will continue to do as I have been doing and as I replace worn equipment I will insure that it has markings on it. If I can find any that does.

Looks like with the economy some drivers are using worn out bars and straps and buying cheap stuff....looks like they did not make new rules just enforcing the old rules...bout time...everyone always says to enforce the existing laws and now ya squawk when they do...straight drivers...ain't whinning their cryin...*LOL*

Most of my loadlock bars had a nice label on them when new (not the one I inherited somehow though). Over the years, however, they've been chafed and worn to the point of illegibility in many cases. I suspect that won't help things if I'm inspected in Canada. Fortunately, I don't go there very often anymore.
