and frequency in which it is used as well as external influ-
ences. Products made from synthetic fibre (PA, PES, PP)
are subject to a certain ageing process even if they are
not used. This is caused by the intensivity of UV-rays and
environmental influences.
Maximum lifespan under optimal storage conditions
(see section 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 Usage
Under extreme conditions with frequent impacts from
rocks or ice and numerous scratches and dents, the
safety reserves can be depleted within a very short period
of time and thus make replacement inevitable. The
helmet absorbs the energies resulting from an impact
which could include the helmet's partial destruction or
damages on shell and interior parts.
The helmet must be replaced after a severe impact (fall,
rock or ice impact), even if the damage is not immediate-
ly visible.
The same applies to deep scratches or contact with
chemicals (attention: battery acid!).
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or in
accordance with procedures recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
Inspection
The product must be checked and, if necessary, main-
tained whenever this is necessary but at least yearly by
the manufacturer, an expert or an authorised testing
centre.
In the process, it must be ensured among other things
that the product labelling is legible. Once the above-men-
tioned 10 years period of use has been exceeded, the
personal protection equipment product must be with-
drawn from further use.
Storage, transport and care
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, dark place outside transport contain-
ers.
Avoid contact with chemicals (caution: battery acid!)
Store without mechanical stress caused by jamming,
pressure or tension.
Transport
The product must be kept away from direct sunlight,
chemicals, dirt and mechanical damage. For this pur-
pose, a protective bag or special storage and transport
containers should be used.
Cleaning (Fig. 10, 12)
Upon use, helmets - especially when contaminated - must
be cleansed with warm water and neutral soap, to protect
metal parts of the helmet from possible adverse effects
of sweat resulting from heavy use. Rinse well. Dry at room
temperature, never use a tumble drier or dry close to ra-
diators! If required, halogen-free commercial disinfec-
tants may be used. Metal parts should then be wetted
with an acid-free oil.
