2 Years Service Life

This is purely a recommendation by the manufacturer as the lifespan of a helmet revolves around its maintenance, exposure to heat and UV rays, exposure to the elements and abusive conditions etc. If a helmet is stored correctly (away from sunlight and heat) suitably packed in bag or box in a clean environment where the temperature is controlled then the lifespan of the helmet should begin on its recorded 'Issue' date for use.

Ideally a helmet exposed to varying wear conditions should last for a period 1 – 2 years from date of issue to wearer. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to the helmet shell and headgear assembly by visually inspecting for cracks, tears, discoloration and embrittlement of the shell caused by frequent exposure to UV rays or damage brought about by harsh work conditions or abuse.

The headgear should be inspected in the same manner for wear, damaged or loose fitment and replaced if components are found to be faulty or suspect. This element provides absorption of shock/forces exerted on the shell. The harness assembly should be immediately replaced if there is any sign of degradation / weakening of the component parts or if the harness is not clean or contaminated. It is recommended to insert the 'Issue' date in a register or onto the helmet label inside the shell of the helmet if this is provided for. The lifespan of the helmet would then start from the issue date and can then be tracked and not confused with the date of manufacture.
