Airbag, Belt Tensioner and Battery Cut-Out Units, Storage, Transporting and Disposal

Storage must conform to national legislation.

Transport must conform to national and international guidelines, whereby packaging, identification and shipping documents are controlled to the greatest detail.

Undeployed pyrotechnic components must be disposed of in an orderly manner, conforming to national legislation, in their original packaging! Direct questions to your importer!

Only pyrotechnic components, which have been ignited completely, may be disposed in industrial waste.


This does not apply to Wankel belt tensioners. Handle these as if they were undeployed pyrotechnic components such as airbags, seat belts and pyrotechnic battery disconnect components.

Workshop equipment cannot determine if Wankel belt tensioners have deployed all pyrotechnic materials.
