What are the regulations, and/or your requirements, regarding stickers on the helmets. With respect to inspections (cracks) and/or electrical concerns. We have several helmets that have been "personalized". Do we need to remove the stickers? I also see that we cannot use solvents (to remove the stickers).

Hello Bjorn,

We do not recommend using anykind of stickers except the official set that we provide for Alveo or Vertex Helmets. Regarding the inspection of your helmets we recommend that you remove the stickers to clearly view the shell, to remove the glue use a gentle cloth to clean the surface with methylated spirit, do not dip the helmet in the methylated spirit.
In the future avoid the personalisation of the helmets except if done with the specific petzl sticker kit and specific application areas.

Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely

Replacement of Helmets

Hi,

Can you advise of the recommended period for replacement of climbing helmets. I note that they conform to EN 397. Do they as per construction hard hats require to be marked with the date of manufacture and the recommended replacement period (3 years)? Are they manufactured in the same manner as a safety helment and as such degrade over time with UV exposures hence the need for replacement etc.

What is the recommended replacement period for one of your climbing helmets?

Many thanks

Dawn
