The document provides information on determining the manufacture date of gas safety regulators from three manufacturers - ESAB EDGE/G Series, ESAB and Murex regulators. The first two paragraphs describe date stamp codes indicating month and year of manufacture based on the letters in the code. The third paragraph notes a change in 2013 to the ESAB Elite series coding system, which instead provides the full manufacture date of year, month, day and revision.

Therefore a regulator marked CMV was manufactured in December 2012 in China.

To ascertain the exact month of manufacture of ESAB and Murex regulators, the date stamp code appears on
the back, typically for example: E3AF. The code is translated thus: *The LAST letter is the ASSEMBLY LOCATION

Decade Year Month Assembly Location


A = 1970 1 6 A = January G = July F = Florence
B = 1980 2 7 B = February H = August
C = 1990 3 8 C = March J = September
D = 2000 4 9 D = April K = October
E = 2010 5 E = May L = November
F = June M = December

Therefore the regulator marked E3AF was manufactured in January 2013 in Florence.

For ESAB Elite series regulators manufactured from December 2013, there will be a change to the aforementioned
manufacturing date coding system. This new code will remain permanently engraved in the same location as previous
and will be translated thus:

13 M 16 O 13M16O

Therefore, the regulator marked 13M16O was manufactured on 16th December 2013.
