Repairs, Warranty and Disposal
42
If a problem cannot be fixed by following the troubleshooting guide, or by replac-
ing spare parts, then the instrument must be sent in for repair.
For safety reasons, instruments returned for checks and repairs must be
clean and decontaminated!
Return for Repair
a) Clean and decontaminate the instrument carefully.
b) Complete the 'Declaration on Absence of Health Hazards' (ask your
supplier or manufacturer for the form. The form can also be downloaded
from www.brand.de).
c) Send the completed form along with the instrument to the manufacturer or to
the dealer with an exact description of the type of malfunction and the media
used.
The return transport of the instrument is at risk and cost of the sender.
Calibration Service
ISO 9001 and GLP guidelines require regular examinations of your volumet-
ric instruments. We recommend checking the volume every 3-12 months. The
interval depends on the specific requirements on the instrument. For instruments
frequently used or in use with aggressive media, the interval should be shorter.
The detailed testing instruction can be downloaded on www.brand.de.
BRAND also offers you the possibility to have your instruments calibrated by the
BRAND Calibration Service or the BRAND-owned DKD Calibration Service.
Just send in the instruments to be calibrated, accompanied by an indication of
which kind of calibration you wish. Your instruments will be returned within a few
days together with a test report (BRAND Calibration Service) or with a
DKD/DAkkS* Calibration Certificate. For further information, please contact your
dealer or BRAND. Complete ordering information is available for download at
www.brand.de (see Technical Documentation).
* Based on the legal requirements the DKD Accreditation is successively transformed to the DAkkS
Accreditation (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH), starting from January 1, 2010.
Warranty
We shall not be liable for the consequences of improper handling, use, servic-
ing, operation or unauthorized repairs of the instrument or the consequences of
normal wear and tear especially of wearing parts such as pistons, seals, valves
and the breakage of glass as well as the failure to follow the instructions of the
operating manual. We are not liable for damage resulting from any actions not
described in the operating manual or if non-original parts have been used.
Disposal
For the disposal of instruments, please observe the relevant national disposal
regulations.
Subject to technical modification without notice. Errors excepted.
