Irrespective of the max. service life, the shelf life depends on the
condition of the product, its frequency of use and the external
conditions of use. Every PPE loses durability in the course of its
service life. The service life is determined by use, thermal, chemical,
mechanical and harmful/aggressive influences.
11.) Inspection and maintenance
The manufacturer's product liability does not extend to property
damage or bodily injury that can occur even with proper function
and proper use of equipment. The manufacturer's extended
product liability does not apply in the event of modifications to the
equipment or failure to observe these instructions or the applicable
accident prevention regulations. The safety of the user depends on
the effectiveness and durability of the equipment. Check the
product for proper functioning before and after each use. Check the
complete equipment incl. all individual parts for damage due to
deformation, cracks, wear, other changes and for legibility of the
labelling. Regular inspections are necessary and must be carried
out at least once a year by a competent person according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The intervals for regular
inspections depend on the frequency of use and the external
conditions of use (dust, heat, etc.). If there is any doubt about safe
use or after a fall, the product must be withdrawn from use
immediately and inspected by a specialist. If it is no longer usable,
it must be disposed of. Webbing and ropes can be cleaned with
warm water (40°C) and mild soapy water. Then rinse well with clear
water. Equipment that has become wet must only be allowed to dry
naturally and kept away from direct heat.

found during the inspection, the product must be replaced.
12.) Storage and transport

Incorrect storage can have a negative effect on the service life of
the product! Transport the product/components in suitable
containers, protected from direct sunlight and stress, to prevent
damage.
