Safety regulations Safety regulations 1.1 Terms and signs used In this manual, certain common terms and signs are used to warn you of danger or to give you hints that are important in avoiding injury or damage. Observe and follow these hints and regulations to avoid accidents and damage.
Safety regulations 1.2 Product safety and dangers The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They contain the latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended.
1.5 Intended use Constant climate chambers HPP and cooled incubators IPP may be used exclusively for PLUS temperature and climate testing of materials and substances in the context of the procedures and specifications described in this manual.

(heat pump principle). Additionally, the humidity in the interior of constant climate chambers HPP can be regulated between 10 and 90 % rh (rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by water from a tank being evaporated and fed into the interior, and is reduced through condensation on a Peltier module.
2.4 Material For the outer housing, MEMMERT deploys stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4016 – ASTM 430) and for the interior, stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4301 – ASTM 304) is used, which stands out through its high stability, optimal hygienic properties and corrosion-resistance towards many (but not all!) chemical compounds (caution for example with chlorine compounds).
