1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a device requiring repair or cali-
bration, for example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a duly completed “Safety regulation” form. 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 EN 91/155/EEC.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which
could contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to
health, e.g. flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.

hazardous substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated
crevices or diffused through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning
will be charged to the owner-operator.
