retired or quarantined and then subjected to testing
by a competent person.
6. MAINTENANCE
Repairs may be carried out only by the manufacturer.
7. 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 infrequent-
ly (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 lifespan 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 contamina-
tion (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 (s)he shall
reject it from service and render unusable, or place
in quarantine and label it in an obvious manner so
that it cannot be used by mistake. The product may
only be returned to service following the written
authorisation of a competent person.
Withdraw equipment from service if it has been
used to arrest a fall.
