Identification guide
Ryobi date code
Ryobi date identification uses the production year and week shown with the tool’s model and serial information.
Separate serial, week and year
Ryobi’s Australian registration guide separates a six-digit serial, a two-digit week and a four-digit year. A visible year 2024 with week 18 describes the eighteenth production week of 2024; the serial identifies the unit.
Labelled-field example
| Field | Example reading |
|---|---|
| Year 2024 | 2024 manufacture |
| Week 18 | 18th production week |
| Six-digit serial | Unit identity, separate from date |
What to check next
Keep the full rating plate in view, including the model and the printed field labels. Formats differ across product lines and markets, so do not discard factory letters or apply a power-tool reading to an unrelated engine number.
