To know if a helmet has expired or not, you need to check the following factors:
How to know if a helmet has expired?
1. Date of manufacture: The starting point to determine whether a helmet is expired or not is to check the date of manufacture. Usually, on the helmet there will be a “date of manufacture” or “date of manufacture” mark or a barcode containing information about the date of manufacture. Usually helmets are recommended to be used within 5 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Check condition: Carefully check the helmet to see if there are any signs of cracks, tears, or damage. If you see any signs of damage or mechanical failure, the helmet may have expired.
3. Review the manufacturer’s instructions: On the helmet or in the manufacturer’s instruction manual there may be specific information about the expiration date. Please read this document carefully for more information.
4. Check for any ratings or certifications: Some helmets may have ratings or certifications from a regulatory organization or testing agency. Check to see if your hat has a certificate and see if it has expired.
Remember, a helmet is an important part of protecting your safety when riding a motorbike, so always make sure your helmet is safe and effective before using it.
