Manufacturer's product liability

The manufacturer's product liability shall be excluded if at least one of the following
criteria applies:
• Original Siemens spare parts are not used.
• Fitters carrying out replacements have not been trained and certified by Sie-
mens.
• Parts have been incorrectly fitted or adjusted.
• Adjustments are not made in accordance with Siemens specifications.
• After installation and adjustment, no final test is performed with a tester
approved by Siemens including documentation of the test results.
To keep documentation complete, it is important that measurement results are sub-
mitted to the responsible sales representative.

Disposal

The materials of the vacuum circuit-breaker should be recycled. Disposal of the vac-
uum circuit-breaker with minimum environmental impact is possible on the basis of
existing legal regulations.
The circuit breaker's metal components can be recycled as mixed scrap, although it
is more environmentally sustainable to dismantle the unit as thoroughly as possible
into sorted scrap and residual mixed scrap.
Electronic scrap must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
The vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the following materials:
• Steel (partly phosphatised, galvanised and yellow chromated)
• Copper (partly silver-plated)
• Plastics (epoxy resin, polyamide, polyester, polycarbonate, ABS-PC mixture;
partly glass fibre reinforced)
• Rubber materials
• Ceramics
• Lubricant
If the packaging is no longer needed, it can be fully recycled.
When delivered by Siemens, the product does not contain any hazardous sub-
stances within the scope of the Hazardous Substances Ordnance applicable to the
territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. For operation outside the Federal
Republic of Germany, the applicable local laws and regulations must be complied
with.
Contact your Siemens Service Center if you require further information.
