Life jacket maintenance in Kiel – quick & easy with SVB

How does life jacket servicing in Kiel work?

Simply bring your life jacket to our Kiel store. Our trained SVB maintenance specialists carry out certified servicing according to international standards. Naturally, you will receive complete documentation of the servicing in your logbook or inspection book. Please note that servicing, including return shipping to your home or marina, usually takes between 2 and 4 weeks.

How old is your life jacket? The year of manufacture is important because life jackets can only be serviced for a maximum of 10 years. You can find the year of manufacture on the inside of the jacket. Within those 10 years, the life jacket must be serviced every 2 years. The inspection label on your jacket shows the next maintenance date.

What is included in the SVB maintenance check:

• Inspection of the water activation mechanism (manual check)
• Inspection of the mouth inflation valve and inlet valve
• Density test of the inflated buoyancy chamber according to the manufacturer's specifications
• Replacing with new seals
• CO² cartridge replacement
