Alloy wheel identification stamping

Requirement

All repaired wheels must have a stamp on the inside surface of the wheel adjacent to the valve stem hole, with the following information:

Vendor number (for non-ICBC use invoice number)
Date of repair, and
Severity code.

Note: The information must be displayed in the order noted.

The stamp identifies any repairs to a wheel or notice that the wheel is unsafe.

Example

An example of an acceptable identification stamp is: 12345-06/12-7.

The parts are as follows:

Identification numbers	Definition
12345	Wheel was repaired by vendor 12345.
06/12	Wheel was repaired in June 2012.
7	Wheel was repaired to repair status code 7 damage. The wheel had sections broken out of outer rim flanges and cracked flanges. Severe ends exposed and extensive welding required.

Wheel cannot be repaired

When the weld repair supervisor decides that the damaged wheel cannot be safely repaired, the wheel must be discarded and permanently stamped with the word "UNSAFE"

using characters not less than 5 mm in height, and
on the inside of the wheel rim adjacent to the valve stem hole.
