8. MAINTENANCE
8.1. SERVICE AND PRODUCT LIFE TIME
8.1.1. Serial number and date of production
Form of nine digit serial number stamped on the product is following:
EN
YY MM XXXXX
YY: year of production;
MM: month of production;
XXXXX : sequence number
Example: serial number 090300521 shows the regulator produced in
March 2009, with sequence number 521.
8.1.2. Maintenance
No special maintenance or service, apart from the tests before use, is
needed. However, to make sure the product is in good working order, it
would be good if the owner/cylinder distributor performs the checks (see
6.1) himself on a regular basis (ex. once every second year) and/or at every
cylinder exchange. This is just for the owner to ensure that the product
works well, especially in cases where the user has some health problems
and is not able to check the product himself properly.
8.1.3. Maximum life time and waste management
Maximum life time of the product is 10 years from the manufacturing date.
At the end of the product's life time (10 years maximum), the product must
be withdrawn from service. The provider of the device shall prevent the
reuse of the product and handle the product in compliance with "Directive
of European Parliament and Council 2006/12/ES of 5th April 2006 on
waste".
In accordance to Article 33 of REACH GCE, s.r.o. as responsible
manufacturer shall inform all customers if materials containing 0.1% or
more of substances included in the list of Substance of Very High Concern
(SVHC).
The most commonly used brass alloys used for bodies and other brass
components contain 2-3% of lead (Pb), EC no. 231-468-6, CAS no. 7439-
92-1. The lead will not be released to the gas or surrounding environment
during normal use. After end of life the product shall be scrapped by an
authorized metal recycler to ensure effi cient material handling with minimal
impact to environment and health.
To date we have no information that indicates that other materials
containing SVHC of concentrations exceeding 0.1% are included in any
GCE product.
