Example:
─ A gear unit is stored exposed outdoors after sea transport, in climatic zone B, while it is kept in seaworthy
packaging
HD

= 20 months
(climatic zone: B, transport type: sea transport, transport packaging: seaworthy packaging, packaging
for storage: seaworthy packaging, place of storage: exposed outdoors)
─ After 5 months
(LD

)
, the gear unit is unpacked, covered with a loose tarpaulin, and placed outdoors
besides the mill.
HD

= 4 months
(climatic zone: B, transport type: sea transport, transport packaging: seaworthy packaging, packaging
for storage: no packaging, place of storage: covered with loose tarpaulin)

The remaining durability period of the interior gear-unit preservation after changing the storage type is
3 months.
After one additional month
