long service life. However, in future the host press system and ancillary equipment, such as the UV
system, may become surplus to requirement and will need to be dismantled or disposed of.

De-commissioning, dismantling and disposal
Warning!
Isolate power before dismantling the UV system.
Warning!
Before dismantling a UV system refer to section 5.6 on hazards.
Having isolated the mains power, the equipment may be dismantled by unplugging connectors and
unbolting fixings from the host equipment.
As with any complex engineered product the

different disposal or recycling methods. In accordance with the European Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive these materials must be recovered by an approved
recycling facility.
Please contact your local authority for details of the nearest licensed recycling facility. Where
necessary, and only with prior written consent, equipment may be returned to GEW for recycling.
