Duration of the protective clothing using is not fixed. Expected service life is within the range
from 4 to 7 years in case of average utilization. It is protective clothing which means that it
can be damaged during some working activity. In such case the following steps have to be
done:
•
Clean the clothing according to the instructions
•
Ensure skilled revision of the clothing by a responsible person (producer, skilled distributor,
or skilled person of a particular fire station)

In case of need repair it (to ensure safety the clothing should be repaired at the PRODUCER

In case of excessive damage and failure of the protective properties of the clothing when
the repair is not worthwhile, we recommend to put out of use
