Storage prior to installation or use
When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the customer, it may be
subject to long time storage prior to installation and use. During this storage period,
certain specifications must be met. The equipment must be preserved and stored in such
a way that it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or personal injury.

The equipment must be stored in its original transportation crate.
2
Ensure that the units are clearly separated in the shelves and that each unit is easily
identifiable.

platform etc.).
4
The crates must not be placed on top of each other, unless specific markings permit
this.

Do not open the crate for inspection unless special circumstances permit so.
• “Special circumstances” may be suspected damage to the crate and its content, or
inspections by civil authorities.

unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if
possible. Re-preserve the equipment.
• If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing material. If required,
dry or replace the bags, then re-pack the unit(s) according to the packing
instructions.

If the crate has been opened, make sure that is it closed and sealed after the
inspection. Use the original packing material as far as possible.

be free from corrosive agents.
