How do I find out when my PPE was manufactured?

Two different product markings can help you identify the date of manufacture:

  1. Serial number: starts with the year and month of manufacture. The month is indicated by a letter (A: January, B: February,... J: October, K: November, L: December) and it corresponds to the date on which production started for the product batch.
  2. Manufacture date: this is easily found beside the MM/YY (month/year) factory icon and corresponds to the date on which manufacturing of the product was completed.

this is easily found beside the MM/YY (month/year) factory icon and corresponds to the date on which manufacturing of the product was completed. Metal products have an unlimited lifespan. Products containing textiles and/or plastic have a lifespan of 10 years.
