significant elements for verifying the helmet's state of deterio-
ration; in any case, we advise replacing it after approximately

is shown on the inside of the helmet.
INSPECTION: Inspect equipment periodically for damage
and/or deterioration. If you should find any cuts, abrasions, or
other damage, contact the manufacturer to have the helmet
inspected before using it again. In addition to the inspection
before and during use, a periodic in-depth inspection must be
carried out by a component inspector al least once every 12
months. This inspection must be performed at least once every
12 months. The frequency of the in-depth inspection must be
governed by the type and the intensity of use. To keep better
track of your equipment, it is preferable to assign each piece of
equipment to a unique user so that he will know its history. The
results of inspections should be documented in an "inspection
record". This document must allow recording of the following
details: type of equipment, model, name and contact informa-
tion of the manufacturer or distributor, means of identification
(serial or individual number), year of manufacture, date of
purchase, date of first use, name of user, all other pertinent
information for example maintenance and frequency of use, the
history of periodic inspections (date, comments and noted
problems, name and signature of the component person who
performed the inspection).
WHEN TO RETIRE YOUR EQUIPMENT: Imediately retire any
equipment if:
- it fails to pass inspection (inspection before and during use
and the periodic in-depth inspection);
- it has been subjected to a major fall or load;
