Info About New SFI Labels for Racers
Since the desert off-road season is in full swing, PRP Seats also has info about the new SFI labels on race harnesses. Starting in 2018, SFI changed the design of their labels to now show the expiration date of their certification, rather than the previous label design, which had a burn mark to show the date the harness was manufactured.
Basically the new labels will now show the end date, rather than the beginning date. With the new design, SFI has also chosen to simplify things by choosing only two months that certs will expire: December and June. So, for example, a harness that is manufactured right now, in the beginning of August 2018, will come with a cert that expires in December of 2020.
SFI 16.1 and 16.5 certification standards are used by many Off-Road Racing sanctions to ensure the harnesses meet certain strength requirements. The certification only last two years, after which the harnesses are assumed to have lost some of their strength due to exposure, and would no longer meet the strength requirement.
Racers are required to have SFI Certification, but recreational users are not. Unsure what certification you need? Contact the helpful crew at PRP Seats with the info below:

ABOUT PRP Seats®
Noticing the lack of competition in the industry, Aaron Wedeking founded the company more than 17 years ago with the goal of making a better suspension seat. His first customers consisted of Off-Road Warehouse and Meyers Manx. PRP Seats quickly grew in size and reputation in off-road circles, becoming one of the top seating companies, and quickly challenging the likes of Beard and MasterCraft. Since the introduction of UTVs such as the Polaris RZR and Yamaha Rhino, the suspension seat industry has experienced sharp growth. PRP Seats has been on the forefront of that growth. Sales in 2013 increased over 300% with over 50% of business coming from UTV owners.
