only  to  qualified  and  skilled  technical  staff,  for

laboratory  usage,

  and  shall  be  used  and  managed  according  to  the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in  this 

document and in any other related documentation provided with the respective Evaluation or Reference Board.

It is the responsibility of the Customer’s technical staff to evaluate the suitability of the Evaluation and Reference

provided in this document with respect to such application

The Customer accepts that the Evaluation and 

Reference  Boards  are  not  intended  to  be  used  for  life-endangering  applications  such  as  medical,  nuclear, 

military, life-critical or other applications, where failure of the Evaluation and Reference Boards or any results 

from the use thereof can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury.
