Abstract
In this Note we give the asymptotic behaviour for the life-span of classica l solutions to the Cauchy problem for general quasilinear strictly hyperbol ic systems with small and decay initial data and prove that the formation o f singularity is due to the envelope of characteristics of the same kind.
