Does the undocumented stuff have labels/stamps on? If so you can usually determine a manufacture date. Or in the case of most metal ware it will have serial and batch numbers stamped which can be checked with the manufacturer. (You might have to pay for the examiners time to check it)
As long as you can determine what it is, CE marks etc, and date of manufacture/first use, most reasonable Loler examiners would be fine with it.

Yes they all have serial numbers, CE marks, and i have a sheet with the dates i first used them

Thanks

Hi Harry,

I'm in Kent and carry out LOLER inspections. Paperwork isn't always essential. What is is what general use conditions are, how you maintain it etc. Labels of some nature help with ID, age and first outing etc.

Traceability is the key for LOLER so if i cant trace and find any info its a fail for me . My advice is try and avoid buying any vital climbing gear second hand as you dont know if they been hammered so any new equipment keep all paperwork for LOLER.Be safe
