A. Description of the device
You will make it easier for us to repair or service the device if you enter all the
information required here. In particular in the case of justified claims under
warranty, we can then settle the matter quickly. The details are also
necessary for our own process organisation: for procuring spare parts and
storing relevant components.
B. Ambient conditions
For inexpensive repairs it is important to know what the pump has been used
for so far. If for example – the best-case scenario for us – the pump has not
been in operation, there is no need for cleaning. For severely soiled
devices or mounted parts we can then ensure consistent component quality.
C. Description of
process substances
1. Which substances has our pump been in contact with?
2. Are these substances harmless?
3. If the pump has been warmed or heated, other hazards are possible.
By telling us the applications you are aware of, you make it easier for us to
select the protective measures (technical, organisational, personnel) in our
service centers. We can then try to prevent any risk to the health of our staff
or at least reduce it to a minimum.
D. Binding signature
You complete the declaration by adding your legally binding signature. You
thus assure us that you are acting in good faith and will not expose our staff
to any unnecessary risk.
Contamination Declaration
Tips for declaring correctly
Why such a declaration?
Our customers operate in a variety of sectors and with the related applications. Furthermore, there are a large number of
applications and internal uses, which in some cases are not known to us. On the other hand, the handling of different materials
and substances can result in hazards for our employees.
Many thanks for your understanding.
Hazards due to chemicals
The relevant legislation has divided chemicals into various categories of risk,
with different symbols for different hazardous substances (see above).
For continued use it is important to indicate known hazards, so as to avert
injury to repair staff when they open or later repair the pump. This can be
crucial if you are going to send us a soiled pump. Airlines for instance refuse
to transport devices in case of inflammable gases or adhesion of toxic
substances.
Important note for transport
For the pump to be transported safely it must be free of residues, properly
sealed and well packed. Reusable packaging materials are available for the
purpose. This can be crucial if you are going to send us a soiled pump.
Airlines for instance refuse to transport devices in case of inflammable gases
or adhesion of toxic substances.
Important note for returns
In order to obtain an appraisal of the general conditions, please complete
and add the cover note on the outside in fully legible form.
Other useful hints
Please note that your employees must in certain cases use personal
protective equipment when they are packing or handling our pumps. A
carry-over or dispersion of hazardous substances or oils is dangerous, and
it is costly to remove them.
If your staff injure themselves when using or handling your pump, or if there
is the possibility of a „near miss“ accident, please let us know. We too are
concerned to reduce accidents and develop means of improvement.
