Required forms
● Delivery note
● Return goods note (
http://www.siemens.com/processinstrumentation/returngoodsnote)
with the following information:
– Product (item description)
– Number of returned devices/replacement parts
– Reason for returning the item(s)
● Declaration of decontamination (http://www.siemens.com/sc/
declarationofdecontamination)
With this declaration you warrant "that the device/replacement part has been carefully
cleaned and is free of residues. The device/replacement part does not pose a hazard for
humans and the environment."
If the returned device/replacement part has come into contact with poisonous, corrosive,
flammable or water-contaminating substances, you must thoroughly clean and
decontaminate the device/replacement part before returning it in order to ensure that all
hollow areas are free from hazardous substances. Check the item after it has been cleaned.
Any devices/replacement parts returned without a decontamination declaration will be
cleaned at your expense before further processing.
9.5 Disposal
Devices described in this manual should be recycled. They may not be
disposed of in the municipal waste disposal services according to the Di‐
rective 2012/19/EC on waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE).
Devices can be returned to the supplier within the EC, or to a locally ap‐
proved disposal service for eco-friendly recycling. Observe the specific
regulations valid in your country.
