3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The device packaging consists of wood. This material is environment-
friendly and recyclable. Dispose of the packaging material via special-
ised recycling companies.
For transport, the source holder is fixed to the bottom plate of a
wooden transport box.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
A seal is located on the outside of the transport packaging indicating
that the packaging was not opened. Check the condition of this seal
and record the intactness.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
According to the IAEA regulations, the source container serves ade-
quately as type A packaging for the sources. For transport, the source
holder is fixed on a transport board and protected by a wooden box.

Check the hoisting equipment for sufficient lifting capacity. You can
find the weight of the source holder in the " Technical data ".
