We have 2 race suits (FIA 8856-2000) manufactured in 2004. Does anyone know if they have a time based expiry. I know some safety equipment is 2 yrs some 5 but i cant find any information on these specific standards.

Thanks

FIA 8856-2000 is a current approved suit spec, so unless they are drenched in oil or have huge tears/rips, they should be good for a while.
