Description
PERIODIC CHECKING OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GENERAL REMARKS
Carrying out regular periodic checks (at intervals predetermined by the
manufacturer) is vital for ensuring the equipment's efficiency and durability and the
user's safety. The performance of regular periodic inspections is required by the
ASTM F887-16 standard and it is therefore mandatory only for some device
categories, whose instructions for use will expressly indicate such obligation.
Carrying out periodical controls doesn't relieve the user from the obligation to
perform the controls before and after each use, nor to require an extraordinary
periodic check, in case an outstanding event occurs (ex, a fall, even from a low

the device. Attention! Before first use, the owner/user of PPE must fill in the

Attention! The Inspector, after having carried out the periodic inspection, is
responsible for the proper functioning of a PPE. The check must be performed with

unknown;at least every 12 months, with normal/standard use;in the presence of
anomalies found during the inspections before and after each use; except for
exceptions, whenever there is a change of user;filling the periodic inspection sheet

kits or systems of PPE.Attention! Provided that the minimum mandatory frequency
for the periodic inspection is 12 months, it can be increased (i.e. 3 months, 6
months etc.) according to the national regulations in force or the frequency,
intensity and method of use (i.e. heavy use, use in a marine environment,
