Transportation is subject to national and international
regulations that govern packaging, marking, labelling and

correctly in the original packaging in accordance with national
legislation. Contact your importer if in any doubt. |

Only completely ignited pyrotechnic components may be
disposed of through the commercial waste system. |
WARNING
-

This does not apply to belt tensioners which
are operated by a Wankel type pump. Those must be
disposed of like pyrotechnic components which were
not triggered (e.g. airbags, seat belts, pyrotechnic
battery isolators). |

Reason: On belt tensioners which are operated
by a Wankel type pump it is not possible to verify,
