Warranty and Warranty Procedure, available upon request.
Procedure
When a component part fails, a replacement part should be obtained through our Spares department. If the part is
considered to be under warranty, the following details are required to process this requirement. Full description of part
required, including Airedale’s part number, if known. The original equipment serial number. An appropriate purchase
order number.
A spares order will be raised under our warranty system and the replacement part will be despatched, usually within 24
hours should they be in stock. When replaced, the faulty part must be returned to Airedale with a suitably completed and
securely attached “Faulty Component Return” (FCR) tag. FCR tags are available from Airedale and supplied with each
Warranty order.
On receipt of the faulty part, suitably tagged, Airedale will pass to its Warranty department, where it will be fully
inspected and tested in order to identify the reason for failure, identifying at the same time whether warranty is justifi ed
or not.
On completion of the investigation of the returned part, a full “Report on Goods Returned” will be issued. On occasion
the release of this complete report may be delayed as component manufacturers become involved in the investigation.
When warranty is allowed, a credit against the Warranty invoice will be raised. Should warranty be refused the Warranty
invoice becomes payable on normal terms.
Exclusions
Warranty may be refused for the following reasons.
• Misapplication of product or component
• Incorrect site installation
• Incomplete commissioning documentation
• Inadequate site installation
• Inadequate site maintenance
• Damage caused by mishandling
• Replaced part being returned damaged without explanation
• Unnecessary delays incurred in return of defective component
Returns analysis
All faulty components returned under warranty are analysed on a monthly basis as a means of verifying component and
product reliability as well as supplier performance. It is important that all component failures are reported correctly.
