predominantly metal is evaluated as
being unlimited but, however, this
maximal life is reduced to 10 years
after the date of manufacture for
non-opening products (except in
some specific cases – see the specific
manual). However, the following fac-
tors may reduce the performance of
the product and its lifespan : in cor-
rect storage, improper use, fall arrest,
