9. SERVICE LIFE

Its theoretically possible period of use is up 5 years
from the time when the product is first removed
from the undamaged package (only when used
infrequently (1 week per year) and stored properly
(see Chapter "Transport, Storage and Cleaning")).
The product must be retired no later than after 5
years of use. It is assumed that the product will
be removed from its package upon purchase. We
recommend keeping the sales receipt.
The theoretically possible total lifetime (proper
storage prior to first removal + use) is limited to 8
years from the date of manufacture.
The actual useful life depends solely on the condi-
tion of the product, which in turn is influenced by
various factors (see below). Extreme influences
may shorten service life to a single use only or to
even less if the equipment is damaged prior to its
first use (e.g. in transport).
Mechanical wear and other influences such as the
impact of sunlight will decrease the life span con-
siderably. Bleached or abraded fibres, discoloration,
and hardened spots are certain indicators that the
product needs to be retired.

It is clearly not possible to offer a general statement
about the product's service life, as such life span
depends on various factors, e.g. UV light, type and
frequency of use, handling, climatic influences such
as ice or snow, environments such as salt, sand,
battery acid etc., heat contamination (above normal
climatic conditions), mechanical deformation and/
or distortion, ... (incomplete list!),
In general, the following rule applies: If the user,
for whatever reason – however insignificant it may
seem – is uncertain whether or not the product
meets all the necessary criteria, either reject it from
service and render unusable, or place in quarantine
and label in an obvious manner so that it cannot be
used by mistake. Only return to service following
the written authorisation of a competent person.
Withdraw equipment from service if it has been
used to arrest a fall.
