5 Decommissioning and disposal
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to insufficiently trained personnel
The components must be decommissioned by a trained professional.
Any work on the electrical system or equipment must be carried out by
trained electricians or by specially instructed persons only under the
control and supervision of a trained electrician and in accordance with
the applicable electrical engineering rules and regulations.
The components must only be decommissioned in a de-energized state
(no current / no pressure).
Secure the components against unintentional start-up.
5.1 Decommissioning
Decommissioning is defined as an extended period without usage of the
components. In this case, the components must be protected from external
influences.
If necessary, disconnect the components from the power supply.
Ensure proper packaging of the components if they remain unused for
longer periods.
Store the components in such a way that they are not exposed to
significant temperature fluctuations. Otherwise, the condensed moisture
resulting from it could cause corrosion.
5.2 Disposal
Parts and components that have reached the end of their service life e.g.
due to wear, corrosion or mechanical loads must be disposed of properly in
accordance with the national regulations after disassembly.
Disassembly
Remove all liquids (e.g. oil) and any grease.
If necessary, remove all cables and lines.
Disassemble the components according to common practices in
mechanical engineering.
Disposal
Separate all components according to recycling requirements:
Metal recycling (steel, iron, aluminium …)
Plastics recycling
Cables and lines
Electronics waste (electronic components)
Hazardous waste (oil, grease, battery ...)
