2.4 Checks upon arrival and unpacking
2.4.1 Check upon arrival
The machine and the package must be inspected immediately upon arrival. Any transport
damage must be photographed and reported immediately, i.e. within less than one (1) week after
arrival, if the transport insurance is to be claimed. It is, therefore, important that evidence of
careless handling is checked and reported immediately to the transport company and the
supplier. Use checklists in Appendix COMMISSIONING REPORT.
A machine, which is not to be installed immediately upon arrival, must not be left without
supervision or without protective precautions. For more details, see Chapter 2.5 Storage.
2.4.2 Check upon unpacking
Place the machine so that it does not hinder the handling of any other goods and on a flat,
vibration-free surface.
After the package has been removed, check that the machine is not damaged and that all
accessories are included. Tick off the accessories on the packing list which is enclosed. If there
is any suspected damage or if accessories are missing, take photographs thereof and report this
immediately to the supplier. Use checklists in Appendix COMMISSIONING REPORT.
For correct recycling and disposal of the packaging material, see Chapter 10.3 Recycling of
packaging material.
2.5 Storage
2.5.1 Short term storage (less than 2 months)
The machine should be stored in a proper warehouse with a controllable environment. A good
warehouse or storage place has:
•
A stable temperature, preferably in the range from 10ºC (50°F) to 50ºC (120°F). If the
anti-condensation heaters are energized, and the surrounding air is above 50ºC (120°F), it
must be confirmed that the machine is not overheated
•
Low relative air humidity, preferably below 75%. The temperature of the machine should
be kept above the dew point, as to prevent moisture from condensing inside the machine. If
the machine is equipped with anti-condensation heaters, they should be energized. The
operation of the anti-condensation heaters must be verified periodically. If the machine is
not equipped with anti-condensation heaters, an alternative method of heating the machine
and preventing moisture from condensing in the machine must be used
•
A stable support free from excessive vibrations and shocks. If vibrations are suspected to
be too high, the machine should be isolated by placing suitable rubber blocks under the
machine feet
•
Air which is ventilated, clean and a free from dust and corrosive gases
•
Protection against harmful insects and vermin.
If the machine needs to be stored outdoors, the machine must never be left ‘as is’ in its
transportation package. Instead the machine must be
•
Taken out from its plastic wrap
