2.4 Note as per Ordinance on Hazardous Materials
According to the Waste Disposal Law of 27.8.1986 (AbfG. §11 Hazardous Wastes), the owner of
hazardous wastes is responsible of their proper disposal. At the same time, according to the
Ordinance on Hazardous Materials of 1.10.1986 (GefStoffV §17 General Responsibility for
Protection), the employer has the dufy of protecting his staff from danger. We must therefore point
out that:
(a) All units and/or systems sent to E.L.B. for repair must be free of any hazardous materials
(acids, alkalis, solutions, potentially explosive gas mixtures etc.).
(b) All units and/or systems sent to E.L.B. must be treated so that they do not contain any
dangerous fluids or other hazardous materials. For this reason, in the case of units or systems
which have come into contact with hazardous working materials (see the Ordinance on
Hazardous Materials – GefStoffV), these materials must be neutralized appropriately.
(c) In the event that service and repair is required, the measures described under (a) and (b)
must be confirmed in writing.
(d) Costs incurred through disposal of hazardous materials during a repair will be invoiced to the
owner of the equipment.
