Important notes

Page 9 of 9

The following applies to all products named in this publication:

1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for

certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical

requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We

nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding

statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a

rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them

than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the

customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the

product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.

2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure

before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state

of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high

level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or

failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident

prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the

customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry

or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or

failure of an electronic component.

3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.

4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this

publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.

because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material

Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed

questions, please contact our sales offices.

5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this

publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product

specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications

contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.

We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,

we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.

The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the

foregoing for customer-specific products.

6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of

the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry”

published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
