7.3 Service life
The length of the useable life of this helmet will be affected by the types of
material used in its construction and the environments in which the helmet is used
and stored. All fire fighting helmets in the HEROS series have excellent ageing
resistance, assuming that they are used and inspected properly. Rosenbauer fire
fighting helmets do not have a specific service life expectancy as it is a variable
factor that is affected by issues such as weather, storage, operational conditions
and thermal and mechanical stress. To ensure as long a service life as possible,
always observe the rules and instructions published in the user information, and
replace defective or warn helmet parts with original parts in the course of ongoing
inspection. In addition to this, the helmet must always be cleaned after use
(see user information), stored well and protected against exposure to light, UV-
radiation, humidity, exhaust gases etc., and kept in a dry and clean environment.
For older helmets that have been in service longer, note that any evaluation of the
service life can only take the operations, requirements, stresses, standards etc.
into consideration that were in force when the helmet was first released. Also
note that the helmet should only be exposed to stress covered by the appropriate
legislation and helmet inspection rules that applied when the helmet was first
released. HEROS fire fighting helmets can be used for a very long time assuming
you observe all the instructions in the user information and also assuming ongoing
care and maintenance and replacement of all defective parts. The production date
of our helmets is shown in the date pictogram on the interior of the helmet.
Attention: The visor features anti-fog coating on the inside. The visor and the coating
must be meticulously cared for at regular intervals with warm water, a soft cloth and, if
necessary, mild dishwashing liquid. Visors should never be cleaned when dry or using
aggressive or abrasive materials. Even with proper care, this coating has a limited
resistance with corresponding use. Detachment of the inner display coating does not
represent a defect; in this case it is recommended you replace the visor.
