Providing the cylinder has no corrosion and weighs within +/- 2g of the printed weight, the cylinder is good for 5-10 years for recreational use. Official Weight Rating: 40kg~70kg, > 70kg (i.e 40kg and above). This style of Life Jacket is only for Adult use. Servicing & Self InspectionAs with all inflatable Life Jackets, it's a legal requirement to service them annually as per the manufactures instructions. These Inflatable Jackets can be self serviced for the first two years, but it is highly recommended to have them professionally serviced by an authorised service agent on the 3rd year.Here is a copy of the service manual & self inspection checklist.

The best way to do this is to put a copy of your PFD receipt/invoice inside a sealable bag like a Glad ziplock bag, and then put this in your pfd pocket. Why do I need to do this? Your legal servicing requirements start from the date of purchase not the manufacturer date.UNDERSTANDING PFD STANDARDSThe New Australian Standard is AS4758 (as of July 2010) The change that will be most noticeable is a new way of identifying PFDs for different uses.
