Product image advertises TÜV / GS / DIN Seal / examination (status 03.14.2015). Amazon (no MarketPlace) of sent items from APA, however, has this quality labeling NOT. Neither on the packaging or on the rope / shackles. Visually still blue and white rope with shackles. Ev. APA has product (and quality?) changed? Conclusion: In safety-related products such as tow ropes, I always pay attention to safety and quality standards such as TÜV / GS tested safety. The tow rope, I have returned.
