Service life and replacement

Maximum service life is achieved under optimum sto-
rage conditions (see storage) and without use: metal

traceable wear and given optimum storage conditions:

taminated ropes, the service life may be shortened sub-
stantially, it may even drop below two years.
Generally, the product must be withdrawn from use im-
mediately if it has been subjected to a fall or shows signs
of damage; it shall then be turned over to a qualified
person or the manufacturer for inspection and/or repair
including a written certification.
