Do not expose to water or any other liquid.
Do not expose to high temperature (such as an autoclave).
8. SERVICE, PRODUCT LIFE TIME AND MAINTENANCE
8.1. SERVICE PERIOD AND PRODUCT LIFE TIME
SERIAL NUMBER AND MANUFACTURE DATE
An eight-figure serial number stamped on the valve body consists of the data
as follows:
M YY XXXXX
M: month of manufacture
YY: year of manufacture
XXXXX: sequence number of product
For example: Serial number K0617574 indicates the valve was manufactured
in November, in 2006, with sequence number 17574.
SERVICE PERIOD
GCE recommend that a periodic inspection of the product is undertaken
every year, including a check of proper functionality of the regulator. GCE
recommend that overall maintenance is performed after 5 years of operation
(depending on the type of valve). Such maintenance consists of preventive
operational maintenance concerning the replacement of critical components
and re-testing of the product. Overall maintenance may only be carried out
by a GCE authorised person.
It is necessary to point out that the periodic inspections and overall mainte-
nance recommended by GCE may not necessarily cover every safety proce-
dure or practice required by national regulations and that abnormal or unusu-
al circumstances may lead to further requirements or additional procedures.
PRODUCT LIFE TIME
The maximum life time of the product is 10 years.
At the end of the product's life time, the product must be withdrawn from
