Temperature of use
The product (dry state) may be used
permanently in the temperature range of -40°C
to +50°C.
Duration and replacement
The duration of the product depends on the
typology and frequency of use and well as on
external factors. Although not used, the helmet
is subject to ageing due to the intensity of UV
rays and weather conditions.
Normal use
Duration in case of normal and proper use,
without evident wear marks and under optimal
storage conditions: 10 years.
Maximum duration of the product under
optimal storage conditions and if not used: 15
years.
Very frequent use or under extreme
conditions
If the product is used under extreme conditions,
very high or very low temperatures, sea water,
or if exposed to frequent blows and shocks
due to the fall of stones/ice and if it presents
many scratches, its safety features could be
reduced even after a brief period of use so that
the product should be replaced. This helmet is
designed to absorb the energy after an impact.
The absorption of the blow occurs through the
partial breaking or damaging of the shell or
the internal part of the helmet. After a strong
impact (blow, fall of stones or ice) the helmet
must be replaced even if it does not present
visible damages. The same applies in the case
of deep scratches or if the product gets into
contact with chemicals.
Periodical checks
Apart from checks before use, the helmet must
undergo a thorough check when required and
needed, by the manufacturer, by an expert
or by an authorized control authority, and
must undergo maintenance, when required or
needed. The legibility of the product marking
must also be checked and in order to do so it is
recommended not to remove labels or marking.
The results of the checks must be registered
on a form indicating: product, model name,
manufacturer name, month/year of production,
date of first use, date of checks, faults and /or
observations, name and signature of inspector.
Once the 10 year period of use has passed, the
PPE product must not be used anymore.
Storage and transportation

not exposed to sunlight, chemicals and at a
temperature between 5 and 35 °C. Store the
