1.4 Return
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
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH.
• Remove all fluid residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues.
This is particularly important if the fluid is hazardous to health, e.g. flammable, toxic, caustic,
carcinogenic, etc.
!
Note!
You will find a master copy of the "Declaration of Contamination" form at the back of this manual.
#
Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (caustic burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will
be charged to the owner-operator.
