Spring stripes

[tinweevil]

Do the coloured stripes painted on springs (e.g. suspension or valve) follow any kind of standard or are they totally manufacturer dependant?<br>

From a general engineering view, so not sure if it applies to springs but.<br>
Manufacturer, material, metal spec, production batch and certificate of conformity number.<br>
Usually in coloured stripes or bands.....<br>
Although I can't recall seeing anything similar on springs.
