LIFESPAN / INSPECTION / RETIREMENT
CMC does not specify an expiration date for hardware because
the service life depends greatly on how and where it is used.
The type of use, intensity of use, and environment of use are all
factors in determining serviceability of the equipment. A single
exceptional event can be cause for retirement after only one
use, such as exposure to sharp edges, extreme temperatures,
chemicals, or harsh environments. Remove retired equipment
from service and destroy it to prevent further use.
A device must be retired when it fails to pass inspection; it fails
to function properly; it has illegible product markings; it shows
signs of damage or excessive wear; it has been subjected to
shock loads, falls, or abnormal use; it has been exposed to harsh
chemical reagents; it has an unknown usage history; there is
any doubt as to its condition or reliability; or when it becomes
obsolete due to changes in legislation, standards, technique or
incompatibility with other equipment.
Inspect the equipment according to your department's policy for
inspecting life safety equipment. CMC recommends a detailed
inspection by a competent person at least once every 12
months depending on current regulations and conditions of use.
Record the date, inspector name, and inspection results in the
equipment log as well as any other relevant information to track
the usage history.
Before each use, the user should confirm the device is
functioning properly; verify the presence and legibility of the
product markings; and verify there is no excessive wear or
indications of damage such as deformation, corrosion, sharp
edges, cracks, or burrs. Minor nicks or sharp spots may be
smoothed with emery cloth or similar. Check for the presence of
!
dirt or foreign objects that can affect or prevent normal operation
such as grit, sand, rocks, and debris.
During each use, the user should confirm all pieces of equipment
in the system are correctly positioned with respect to each other;
monitor the condition of the device and its connections to other
equipment in the system; do not allow anything to interfere with
the operation of the device or its components; and keep foreign
objects out of the device.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER USE
SWIVEL FUNCTION: For orientation only. Not for high speed or
multi-rotation:
1. Verify swivels rotate freely. Swivel-type devices must NEVER
be used with steel cable or wire rope unless the wire rope
manufacturer verifies such use is approved and that the
cable/rope will not unwind when used with a swivel.
2. Verify spring pin is in place and has not been removed.
