isolator units (pyrotechnic components)
| |
Storage must comply with the relevant national legislation. |
| |
Transportation is subject to national and international
regulations that govern packaging, marking, labelling and
freight documentation in detail. |
| |
Untriggered pyrotechnic components must be disposed of
correctly in the original packaging in accordance with national
legislation. Contact your importer if in any doubt. |

disposed of through the commercial waste system. |
WARNING
