They vary according to whether metal or plastic strapping is used.
5.1 Closures for metal strapping
The main system consists of placing a metal part, called a clevis or seal, where the two strands of the strap are superimposed under tension. The clevis or seal wraps around the two strands of the strap, and is then mechanically sealed by a clamp. This metal part is then mechanically sealed by a clamp, which makes notches or lateral deformations on the metal part, thus creating a real lock.
