CAR SAFETY
Safety gear: labels, dates & condition
Build an equipment record so important checks do not wait until race morning.
Record what you have
For each seat, harness, net and extinguisher, record the manufacturer, model, exact standard and any dates shown on the label. Keep photographs and documents together.
Check the relevant requirements
Compare each item with current event rules and manufacturer guidance. Do not apply one general expiry period to every product or standard.
Check condition and servicing
Ask a qualified person about installation, damage, maintenance and any servicing requirements. A date on a label is only one part of the assessment.
Plan your next review
Confirm any deadlines with the organiser and manufacturer. This page deliberately does not assert universal replacement intervals or event acceptance.
Use your organiser’s regulations and the current governing-body manual.
