LIFE SPAN
The following recommendation applies
for the use of the BFD ROPE03 and BFD
ROPE Y03:
Maximum usage period after being
used for the first time:
8 years
In ideal storage conditions and annual
inspections, the product may be stored
for up to 3 more years before it is used
for the first time without impacting on
the stated maximum usage period.
Every further year in storage reduces the
final maximum allowed usage period by
1 year.
Metal parts are not subject to age-
related life span deadlines. The expert
makes a decision based on his technical
expertise and the latest version of the
standard.
For reasons of safety, intensive use and/
or extreme application conditions such
as sharp edges, chemical influences, UV
radiation etc. will reduce the usage
period. The company owner needs to
take this into account in the workplace
risk analysis.
If the BFD ROPE03 and BFD ROPE Y03 are
wrapped around parts for anchoring,
more wear can be expected.
The company owner must ensure
compliance with the maximum usage
period by documenting first-time use in
the test card.
The test card at the end of this User
Manual must be presented during the
regular expert inspections and be
completed by an expert.
