of additional parts without the manufacturer's written
recommendation. Paint, solvents, adhesives or self-
adhering stickers may only be applied in keeping with the
manufacturer's instructions. The equipment must be checked
for possible damage before and after each use. It must be
ensured that the equipment is serviceable and fully functional.
The equipment must be discarded immediately if there is even
the slightest doubt as to its serviceability. A helmet will not
always prevent injuries, depending on the specific danger. In
addition, sharp edges, wetness and especially icing-up can
diminish the stability of textiles!
WARNING! The products must be kept away from damaging
environments. This includes contact with corrosive and
aggressive substances (e.g. acids, alkalis, soldering water, oils,
cleaning agents), as well as extreme temperatures and flying
sparks.
Climate requirements
The temperature for continuous use of the product (in dry
condition) for mountaineer helmets to EN 12492 ranges from
approx. -20 °C to +35 °C, for industrial safety helmets to EN 397
ranges from approx. -10 °C to +50 °C.
Lifespan and replacement
The lifespan of the product mainly depends mainly on the way
and frequency in which it is used and external influences.
Products made from synthetic fibre (PA, PES, PP) are subject to
a certain ageing process even if they are not used. This is caused
by the intensivity of UV-rays and environmental influences.
When the usable period has elapsed or latest at the end of the
maximum service life, the product must be removed from use.
Maximum lifespan under optimal storage conditions (see
section on storage) and without use: 12 years.
Occasional use
Occasional and appropriate use without obvious wear and tear
and with optimal storage: 10 years.
Frequent or Extreme Usage
Under extreme conditions with frequent impacts from rocks or
ice and numerous scratches and dents, the safety reserves can
be depleted within a very short period of time and thus make
replacement inevitable. The helmet absorbs the energies
resulting from an impact which could include the helmet's partial
destruction or damages on shell and interior parts.
The helmet must be replaced after a severe impact (fall, rock or
ice impact), even if the damage is not immediately visible.

The same applies to deep scratches or contact with chemicals
(attention: battery acid!).
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or in
accordance with procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
Inspection (for industrial safety helmets to EN 397)
The product must be checked and, if necessary, maintained
whenever this is necessary but at least yearly by the
manufacturer, an expert or an authorised testing centre.
In the process, it must be ensured among other things that the
product labelling is legible. Once the above-mentioned 10 years
period of use has been exceeded, the personal protection
equipment product must be withdrawn from further use.
Storage, transport and care
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, dark place outside transport containers.
Avoid contact with chemicals (caution: battery acid!) Store
without mechanical stress caused by jamming, pressure or
tension.
Transport
The product must be kept away from direct sunlight, chemicals,
dirt and mechanical damage. For this purpose, a protective bag
or special storage and transport containers should be used.
Cleaning
Upon use, helmets - especially when contaminated - must be
cleansed with warm water and neutral soap, to protect metal
parts of the helmet from possible adverse effects of sweat
resulting from heavy use. Rinse well. Dry at room temperature,
never use a tumble drier or dry close to radiators! If required,
halogen-free commercial disinfectants may be used. Metal parts
should then be wetted with an acid-free oil.
