2.10.9.1 It is very difficult to know by how much equipment is deteriorating (particularly equipment made from man-made fibres), without testing to destruction, which rather defeats the objective. Therefore, it is advisable to set a period after which such equipment should no longer be used. This period is known as the lifespan. The information supplied by the manufacturer for the equipment should be referred to when deciding on the lifespan. It is also important that a history is kept of the use of equipment, which should ideally log the conditions in which it was used, as this could be useful in any review of the lifespan set for the equipment.
