I *think* it depends on the make of chute. I don't own one, so my
smart-alek answer would be "on or before the expiry date of the
packing slip".


In the U.S. it's independent of chute make (unless it's made
of material like silk - which none are) and it must be
repacked every 120 days. I was just wondering if this is
variable around the world. I've heard repackers tell me
they believe the 120 day period is extremely conservative.
I wondered if the other regulating bodies around the world
use that interval. Anyone?

I have heard of one successful deployment with a chute that was last packed
seven years prior to use.
Even if you only use it as a cushion for your posterior - it may save same
buttocks one day.
