9.1. General
Pumps and systems used in laboratories and process-based in-
dustries are exposed to a wide variety of conditions. This means
that the components contacting pumped media could become con-
taminated by toxic, radioactive, or otherwise hazardous sub-
stances.
For this reason, customers who send any pumps or systems back
to KNF must submit a Health and safety clearance and decontami-
nation form in order to avoid a hazardous situation for KNF em-
ployees. This Health and safety clearance and decontamination
form provides the following information, among other things:
physiological safety
whether medium-contacting parts have been cleaned
whether the equipment has been decontaminated
media that have been pumped or used
and must declare physiological safety. To ensure worker safety,
work may not be started on pumps or systems without a signed
Health and safety clearance and decontamination form.
The template for the Health and safety clearance and decontami-
nation form is included with these operating instructions and may
also be downloaded from the KNF website
www.knf.com/down-
loads
.
The customer must specify the device type(s) and serial number(s)
in the Health and safety clearance and decontamination form in or-
der to provide for the unambiguous assignment of the Declaration
to the device that is sent to KNF.
In addition to the customer's declaration of physiological safety, in-
formation about operating conditions and the customer's applica-
tion are also of importance to ensure that the return shipment is
handled appropriately. Therefore, the Health and safety clearance
and decontamination form requests this information as well.
