General Triumph Racing messages

All,
At Stafford and since, I have been told horror stories of officious scrutineers who check for date stamps on extinguishers, harnesses and even overalls. Just thought I'd re-read the relevant paras in the Blue Book, and Lo! There is nothing there!

For the hand held extinguisher, according to Para Q3.4.2 a pressure guage is "recommended" (not mandatory) and to Para Q3.4.3 it must carry a tare weight. Those will allow checking that the device has not leaked. Zilch about service dates.
Nothing about dates for plumbed-in ones either.

For seat belts, again nothing about 'sell-by' dates in Section Q3, nor in Sections E(Competitors) & J(Racing).

For overalls, BSEN533 (What?) will be no longer acceptable from 1/1/2005 (that's two oh oh FIVE) (Q9.1)

I'll be grateful if someone here can point me to the relevant Para(s). Otherwise, if challenged, I will ask the Scrutineer if he will be kind enough to do so.

John
