There is no such thing as a predetermined or mandated expiration date on fall protection harnesses. Neither OSHA nor ANSI have current codes or standards that set a specific time period for taking a harness out of service. Even most manufacturers will not suggest how long a harness will last.
Visual inspection of all stitching and any wear or tear and whether it's come into contact with any harmful or corrosive chemicals, if all sound then it can still be used.
All makes are different but they are only certified for so many years from manufacture then have to be replaced regardless of use or condition. As an example our harnesses are petzel and life span is 10 years , but the fall arrest lanyards are 7 year life span
