Do driver suits (one piece, or pants and jacket) need to be re inspected periodically or SFI certified after a certain time?

I bought a used one and had it recertified by the manufacturer - As far as SCTA-BNI is concerned, I understand it just needs to be in good shape.

I want to say it was $75.00 for the recert.

They patched up one of the cuffs that was pulling out at no extra charge.

That was nice of them.

I just bought a used SFI/20 for $750.  Thankfully ONLY NHRA requires re-certification.  I'd hate to have to quit racing because of profiteering (the way that I quit racing NHRA).

NHRA requires recertification every 2 years.  SFI is becoming a huge money grab.  Recertify you scattershield every 2 years???  You racing suit etc?  I think my cost of shipping for scattershield was about $90.  I don't see how they could justify $250+ every 2 years for something that should last about 500 years.
I sucessfully street raced for 25 years (Gov stole drag strip).  I built Show and Race cars for 10 years professionally.  Have been doing well racing Half, Mile and Open Road Rally last few years.  I have many Mopars in my yard, 2 Vipers, 3 Stealth TTs, 440 Duster, 340 Demon, and a dozen project cars.
