Full manufacturing details, including origin are provided within the kit contents and accompanying documentation. This disclosure is made in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) to ensure transparency and traceability for all end users.
Due to the safety-critical nature and limited lifespan of the harness components—specifically the manufacturing date and expiry period of the harness—all harness kits are manufactured strictly per order. This ensures that each kit is delivered with the maximum allowable service life and full traceability. Lead times for production may vary between 3 to 14 working days, depending on current manufacturing capacity and product line demand.

The POWERLINES KIT (9.08A) meets all specified requirements, whereas the more economical CONTRACTORS KIT (9.08) utilizes steel components instead of the mandated aluminium.
