How to find the Manufacturing Date of your Device From serial number to date of manufacture.

You will be able to find either the manufacturing date or the serial number (or both) stated on the rating label placed under the lift for X-ray devices or on on the side of the basin for dental treatement units.

In 2020, we made a modification in our labelling system to improve the traceability of manufacturing and to update it with modern ISO labelling standards. For devices produced earlier, you will need to determine the manufacturing date from the serial number written on the device.
