Product Lifespan
It is mandatory by European Law
that all PPE must be supplied with
comprehensive User Instructions which
detail the lifespan of the product, and
the inspection requirements.
Current European standards state at
least every 12 months the equipment
must be examined by a competent
person authorised by SpanSet and the
results recorded.
The actual frequency of the periodic
inspection is the responsibility of the
competent person in charge of the
maintenance of the product. Aggressive
or arduous conditions and constant use
will potentially reduce the working life
of the product and so a more frequent
inspection regime will be required to
effectively monitor this.
In accordance with BS8437:2005
SpanSet recommend that PPE for Work
at Height is thoroughly examined by a
competent person:
– When issued into service for the
fi rst time
– Periodically at intervals not
exceeding 6 months
– Interim inspections where required

In addition SpanSet give this product a
period of obsolescence of 10 years from
