The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration, for
example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a fully completed "Declaration of Contamination" form with the device. Only then
can Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per European
Directive 1907/2006/EG.
• Remove all fluid residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain fluid residues.
This is particularly important if the fluid is hazardous to health, e.g. flammable, toxic, caustic,
carcinogenic, etc.

Note!
A copy of the "Declaration of Contamination" can be found at the end of these Operating
Instructions.

Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous

be charged to the owner-operator.
