2.2 Care, storage and transport of the PPE against falls from a height
This product can be cleaned dry or damp with a soft brush. Webbings and ropes can also be cleaned with lukewarm water (max. 40°
C) and mild soapsuds by hand. Then rinse in cold water and let it dry in a well ventilated, dry and shady place (avoid UV light exposure)
(never tumble dry or dry over a direct source of heat). Please take care that the marking labels remain legible after cleaning.
This product must be stored under dry conditions, at an ambient temperature, protected from mechanic damage, chemical influences
(e.g. of chemical substances, oil, solvents and other aggressive substances), direct sunlight (UV light exposure) and outside a
transport container.
The product should be transported in a UV resistant bag and not exposed to UV rays by direct sunlight more than
necessary.
ATTENTION: It requires careful protection from UV light exposure (sunlight) due to the reduced resistance of the
aramid material against UV light.
2.3 Repair/Accessories
Eventual repair, modification or additions to the PPE generally have to be carried out exclusively by the manufacturer.
2.4 Training/Instructions
Personal protective equipment against falls from a height must only be used by persons, who have been instructed according to the
valid national working conditions act.
We are pleased to inform you about training for INSTRUCTIONS or COMPETENT PERSONS.
3 Period of use
The operating life of this safety product essentially depends on the type and frequency of use as well as on the conditions of use,
diligent care and storage and therefore can not generally be defined. Products made of chemical fibres (e.g.: polyamid, polyester,
aramid) are subject to certain ageing even if they are not used, especially depending on the intensity of ultraviolet rays as well as on
the climatic environmental influences.
Maximum longevity of 12 years
The maximum longevity of Haberkorn products in synthetic and textile material is 12 years from the date of production under optimal
storage conditions and without being used.
Maximum operating life of 10 years
The maximum operating life with occasional, proper use without visible wear and tear under optimal storage conditions is 10 years
from the date of first use.
Storage period of 2 years
The storage period before first use and without reducing the maximum operating life is 2 years from the date of production.
ATTENTION: Provided that all instructions on safe handling and storage are observed, the following, non-binding
indications on the lifespan can be recommended:

for safety and health at work by the Employer's Liability Insurance Association (BG-rules)/ DE.
Metal fittings such as buckles, karabiners, etc.:
The life of metal fittings is generally unlimited; however a periodic inspection of metal fittings must be carried out regarding damage,
distortion and wear as well as functioning.
When different materials are used in one product, the period of use is subject to the most sensitive materials.
Extreme conditions of use can cause the elimination of a product after only using once (type and intensity of use, field of application,
aggressive environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures, chemical substances etc.).
The product must be discarded if it shows any discoloration:
Extreme UV exposure or intensive heat must be assumed in particular, if the sewing ("yellow aramid sewing thread")
becomes brownish.
Decontamination:
The product must be discarded, if parts have been contaminated during use
A PFPE must definitely be discarded:
• in case of damage to supporting parts, which are essential for safety, such as webbings and seams (tears, cuts or other)
• in case of damage to plastic and/or metal fittings
• in case of strain by a fall or heavy load
• after the application period has elapsed
• if a product does not seem safe or reliable anymore
- less than 1 year
- 1 year to 2 years
- 2 to 3 years
- 3 to 4 years
- 4 to 6 years
