Transit Damage
Transit damage can be obvious or concealed, and in either case will
only be admitted by the carrier if it is reported as agreed in the terms
of their agreement. For any claims against damage in transit, the
following general rules apply:
Before accepting delivery, you should inspect the packages for
signs of obvious damage. The nature of any obvious damage must
be noted on the carrier’s waybill, and then must be countersigned
by a representative of the carrier.
Within the time limits stated in the terms of conditions of
carriage, a further inspection must be made for concealed
damage. If any damage is found at this stage, the carrier must be
notified in writing and all packaging material must be retained
for subsequent inspection by a representative of the carrier.
A copy of any damage report must be forwarded to the Agilent
Sales Office dealing with the supply of the equipment.
Agilent ICP-OES systems are inherently robust, and the packaging is
designed to prevent damage. It must be remembered that the
contents form part of a precision measuring system and all packages
should be handled accordingly. In transit, sharp jolts and shocks
must be avoided and the packages must not be inverted or tilted
unnecessarily. Markings on the shipping cartons generally indicate
the required orientation of the carton.
