  • Storage must conform to national legislation.
  • Transport must conform to national and international guidelines, whereby packaging, identification and shipping documents are regulated to the greatest detail.
  • Undeployed pyrotechnic components must be disposed of in an orderly manner in their original packaging, that conforms to national legislation. Contact the importer for questions.
  • Only pyrotechnic components, which have been ignited completely, may be disposed in industrial waste.
  • This does not apply to belt tensioners that function according to the Wankel pretensioner principle. These are to be treated like undeployed pyrotechnic components (such as airbags, seat belts, pyrotechnic battery cut-out elements).
  • Background: Workshop equipment cannot determine if belt tensioners have deployed all pyrotechnic materials according to the Wankel pretensioner principle.
