Packaging for transport or for return to manufacturer
If the original packing is no longer available, the instrument must
be wrapped in an insulating air foil or corrugated board and
packed in a sufficiently large crate lined with shock absorbing
material (foamed material or similar) for the transportation. The
amount of cushioning must be adapted to the weight of the unit
and to the mode of transport.
The crate must be labelled “Fragile”.
For overseas shipment the unit must additionally be sealed
airtight in 0.2 mm thick polyethylene together with a dessicant
(e.g. silica gel). The quantity of the desiccant must correspond to
the packing volume and the probable duration of transportation
(at least 3 months). Furthermore, for this type of shipment the
crate should be lined with a double layer of kraft paper.
