4. Expiry. Systems meeting SFI specifications include at least one
label bearing the date of manufacture. The certification of these
belts expires after two years. These belts shall not be used after
the expiration date of the SFI certification. For example, a belt
manufactured in May 2009 shall not be used after May 31, 2011.
Systems meeting FIA specifications must have all belts labelled
with their date of expiration, and these belts will expire on the last
day of the year indicated on their labels. (Spring 2010)

Was this an 'issue' at Portland this weekend?

SCCA has formed a committee to evaluate the SFI rating to determine if (at least they) will extend the life of harness systems beyond the SFI spec'd life. Will be interesting to see what happens there.
 
It was anounced at the drivers meeting SFI Belts are only good for 2 yr.
