Life boat wire certificate expired

Y question is: if I have the life boat wire certificate expired, are there any rule or document that say it is better not use it for abandon drills?

No, the requirement for abandon ship drill is is not linkied to the requirment to renew the falls.

When you get the new wire installed stencil the replacement date on the davits where it can be seen so it will not be overlooked next time.

Will also get you in trouble for your next SOLAS Cargo Ship Safety Equipment inspection. . . if the surveyor is doing his job correctly, that is. . .

U may get into trouble during PSC inspection in any port. Using expired items U may run into real mess in case of equipment failure causing subsequent injury and/or death.
