4. RECEIVING AND STORAGE

4.1.

Receiving

All possible precautions are taken to protect the equipment against damage or losses during shipment to our
customers, however before accepting delivery, it is strongly recommended that a check of all received items is
made against the packing list or billing of lading. If there is a shortage or evidence of physical damage, notify
Gastech immediately.
Notify Gastech within 7 days (maximum) in case of shortage or discrepancies, according to the packing list. This
will assist in a speedy resolution to problems. Please keep a record of all claims and correspondence. Where
possible, taking and supplying photographs is advantageous.
Where practicable do not remove protective covers prior to installation unless there are indications of damage
that necessitate closer inspection. Packaging that has been opened for inspection and inventory logging should
be carefully repacked to ensure protection of contents or else the parts should be packaged and stored in a safe
place. Examine all shipping boxes, and protective packaging for items attached to them, especially if the
wrapping are to be discarded.
4.2.

Inspection

Equipment that is found to be damaged or appears to have been modified in any manner must not be used.
Please contact Gastech if the equipment is suspected to be different than that ordered or if it does not match
the published specifications.
4.3.

Storage

Where equipment is not going to be installed immediately, proper storage is important to ensure protection
against damage. Damage incurred during storage could render the equipment non-compliant to its conditions
of certification.
Electro-Chemical gas sensing cells (used in this equipment), have a maximum 'shelf' life of 6 months
from the date of shipment by Gastech. If equipment is stored for periods longer than this,
performance of the gas sensing cell cannot be guaranteed by Gastech.
All equipment should be stored indoors in a cool dry location, protected from adverse environmental elements.
If storing at ground level, ensure that the storage area is not an area where water will collect.
