LIFESPAN AND REPLACEMENT
The lifespan of the product mainly depends mainly on the way
and frequency in which it is used and external influences.
Products made from synthetic fibre (polyamide, polyester, dy-
neema) are subject to a certain ageing process even if they are
not used. This is caused by the intensivity of UV-rays and envi-
ronmental influences.
Maximum lifespan under optimal storage conditions (see sec-
tion on storage) and without use: 12 years
Occasional use
Occasional and appropriate use without obvious wear and tear
and with optimal storage: 10 years.
Frequent or extreme use, catch load
Following a fall load or in the event of damage, the personal
protection equipment product should be withdrawn from use
immediately and passed on to an expert or to the manufacturer
for checking with a written confirmation to this effect and/or, if
necessary, to be repaired.
As a general rule, PPE products must be replaced immediately
if, for instance, products with webbing have frayed edges or if
fibres are torn out of the weave, if the stitching shows signs of
damage and/or abrasion or if the product has been in contact
with chemicals.
Watch out for sharp burrs or signs of corrosion on metallic parts
of the equipment.
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or in ac-
cordance with procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
The product must be checked and, if necessary, maintained
whenever this is necessary but at least yearly by the manufactur-
er, an expert or an authorised testing centre.
In the process, it must be ensured among other things that the
54569_GAL_VERTIC_MS_20161208.indd 22
product labelling is legible.
Once the above-mentioned 8 years period of use has been ex-
ceeded, the personal protection equipment product must be
withdrawn from further use.

Avoid contact with chemicals (caution: battery acid!) Store

tension.
Transport
The product must be kept away from direct sunlight, chemicals,
dirt and mechanical damage. For this purpose, a protective bag
