7.3 Service life

All fire fighting helmets in the HEROS/HEROS-xtreme/HEROS-XT series
have excellent ageing resistance, assuming that they are used and inspected
properly.
Rosenbauer fire fighting helmets do not have a "best by" date as the maximum
service life depends directly on use such as exposure to weather, storage and
operational conditions, and thermal and mechanical stress etc.
To ensure as long a service life as possible, always observe the rules and
instructions published in the user information, and replace defective or warn
helmet parts with original parts in the course of ongoing inspection.
In addition to this, the helmet must always be cleaned after use (see user
information), protected against exposure to light, exhaust gases etc., and kept
in a dry and clean place.
For older helmets that have been in service longer, note that any evaluation of
the service life can only take the operations, requirements, stresses, standards
etc. into consideration that were in force when the helmet was first released.
Also note that the helmet should only be exposed to stress covered by the
appropriate legislation and helmet inspection rules that applied when the
helmet was first released.
HEROS fire fighting helmets can be used for a very long time assuming you
observe all the instructions in the user information and also assuming ongoing
care and maintenance and replacement of all defective parts.
The production date of our helmets is shown in the date pictogram on the
interior of the helmet.
