Recertification:

Once you have purchased your Crashkit, you can rest assured you now have a distinct advantage should you ever be faced with a survival situation. However, this is not a onetime purchase. Many items in the kits have expiration dates you should be aware of. And while the kits themselves are virtually impossible to get closed again once they are opened, the easiest way to track your personal kit inventory is via our web expiration tracker. Simply enter the serial number for a list of all time dated expiration items contained in your personal kit.

For the first year, everything is covered. Depending on the application of the kit, some users choose to recertify their kits every three or four years, however, to maintain Transport Canada and Federal Aviation Administration guidelines, each kit must be recertified on a yearly basis.

Once your kit is over a year old, its effectiveness does begin to ‘Time Out’, requiring a recertification to update all contents. This is a very simple process which generally takes less than a week. Upon recertification, all kits are completely dismantled and examined piece by piece, and should a product fail our testing (ie: was used, expired, ect) it is replaced.

Product Time Frame Usefulness:

Common product time frame usefulness varies depending on product. For example, all food and water products boast a five year shelf life, while most medical supplies (acetaminophen, benzalkonium chloride, sting-stop, etc) need to be replaced every year. Aquatabs are five years while hand and body warmers are good for four years.

Once you have determined the most appropriate recertification schedule for your situation, you simply send us back the kit for processing.
