3 Preservation and Handling
3.1 Electrostatic Discharge
The life span of electronics can be affected by damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
This can happen if a charged tool or person touches a component. Therefore it is very
important that all tools and personnel are discharged by touching ground before the
printed circuit board or any of the components are touched. It is equally important to
discharge the package with the new component before opening it. A person walking on
a carpet can be charged with up to fifteen thousand volt (15000 V). In worst case, some
sensitive components can be destroyed when discharged with about 100 V.
Note: It is very important that you are connected to ground before touching any
electronic components or printed circuit boards.
3.2 Delivery Check
Upon arrival of spare parts at the destination, all items must be inspected. The following
steps are to be taken:
• Compare the shipment to the list of contents attached to the shipment and/or the
packing list. If there is any discrepancy, Rolls-Royce must be informed immediately.
• Inspect for damage caused during transportation.
A visual check must be performed on all parts of the shipment; pallets, cardboard boxes
and wooden boxes. If there is any damage (i.e. signs of water immersion, dropping or
other mishandling), the crates must be opened for inspection.
Note: During the inspection a representative for the vessel should be present.
The vessel representative must be informed if any damage is found during
the inspection.
A damage report, listing damages found and possibly including pictures of the damaged
parts, should be produced. The report must then be sent to Rolls-Royce immediately.
