Lifejackets
need a service too
|
|
|
| Where
the safety of people's lives is concerned, regular inspection of
the equipment concerned is absolutely essential. This also applies
to lifejackets. Natural ageing process can influence the properties
of the material and also the functioning of the automatic inflator
system is not immune to possible damage (among other things operational
errors). In other words: the life of a lifejacket must be limited.
The corresponding time frame has been set at 10 years, a decision
borne authoratively by the members of the Association for Sea Rescue
Equipment (FSR), and which complies with the law of safety and product
liability. |
| |
| A
prerequisite for this lifetime is an inspection of the lifejacket
by an authorized servicing station or the manufacturer at least
every two years. |
| |
| Safety
as a visible sign |
| Regular
inspection is documented by the FSR-Service-Sticker,
which, similarly to a car's MOT sticker, signalises the month and
year of the next service due. |

| Servicing
- direct from the manufacturer |
| The
regular system check by the expert comprises testing the buoyancy
chamber for air leaks as well as a scrutinizing check of the fully
automatic inflation system. Moreover, within the framework of this
SERVICE we can offer: |
- Repair
Removal of any defects discovered in the course of the inspection
as well as replacement of the complete protective cover or buoyancy
chamber.
|
- Conversion
/ Optional extras
Converting from manual release to automatic inflation,
adding a spray hood, installation of an emergency light and
further signalling accessories.
|
| |
| Receipt
of the new FSR-Service-Sticker confirms, so to speak, the
correct functioning of the rescue equipment and always reminds you
of the Date of the next inspection, the sticker being clearly
visible from the outside. |
| |
| The
total life-span of life jackets is limited. Please refer to the
FSR-leaflet Servicing and the limitation on the life-span
of life jackets. |

N.B.
You can download the current Service Form. Then you only
have to fill it in at home, print it out and then send it to us
together with your lifejacket. The address is on the form.
