Class 1 tapes are becoming more and more popular, especially amongst those who demand absolute precision in their work. That said, most everyday
and professional tape measures on the market today (including everything from Stanley, Irwin, Draper, Bahco and more) are EC Class II accurate.
When used properly Class II tapes are more than accurate enough for the vast majority of users.

Steel tapes are made of high-
quality steel with a high
carbon content and are
thoroughly coated, first with a
colour coating and then a
clear coating. This provides
optimal protection against
corrosion.
A special additional
polyamide blade
coating combines the
stiffness of steel with
the high break
resistance of a glass
fibre blade.
The secret lies in the right
balance between quantity
and quality in the glass
fibres. Low-quality glass
fibres stretch easily since
they contain too few
individual fibres.
