All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazardous substances
(e.g. decomposition products) and must therefore be cleaned before being returned.

goods law. Special requirements for packaging and marking must be observed when

prevents short-circuits. Observe the different dangerous goods requirements relative to
the respective modes of transport and any other national regulations.
