,VVXH*
INTRODUCTION
Before you return your equipment you must warn BOC Edwards if the substances you used (and produced) in the
equipment can be dangerous. This information is fundamental to the safety of our Service Centre employees and will
determine the procedures employed to service your equipment.
Complete the Declaration (HS2) and send it to BOC Edwards before you dispatch the equipment. It is
important to note that this declaration is for BOC Edwards internal use only, and has no relationship to local, national or
international transportation safety or environmental requirements. As the person offering the equipment for shipment, it
is your responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
GUIDELINES
‡
Your equipment is ' uncontaminated ' if it has not been used, or if it has only been used with substances that are not
dangerous/hazardous. Your equipment is ' contaminated ' if it has been used with any dangerous/hazardous
substances.
‡
If your equipment has been used with radioactive substances, you must decontaminate it before you return it to BOC
Edwards. You must send independent proof of decontamination (for example a certificate of analysis) to BOC Edwards
with the Declaration (HS2). Phone BOC Edwards for advice.
‡
If your equipment is contaminated, you must either:
‡
Remove all traces of contamination (to the satisfaction of the laws governing the transportation of dangerous/hazardous
substances).
‡
Or, properly classify the hazard, mark, manifest and ship the equipment in accordance with the applicable laws governing
the shipment of contaminated/hazardous materials.
Note: Some contaminated equipment may not be suitable for shipment as airfreight.
PROCEDURE

3. If the equipment is contaminated, you must contact your transporter to ensure that you properly classify the hazard,

with applicable laws.

semiconductor by-products, may not be suitable for shipment as airfreight - contact your transporter

be strapped to a pallet, pack it in a suitable strong box.
