Training

Training in safe handling of pyrotechnic components

With the right knowledge, vehicle recyclers, dismantlers and workshops can handle airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and other pyrotechnic components safely, sustainably and with documentation – in line with EU requirements for treating end-of-life vehicles.

Why training is needed

Within the EU, end-of-life vehicles must be treated so that potentially explosive components are removed or neutralised. That calls for the right method, the right equipment and clear documentation.

Training makes it easier to do things right from the start – identifying the components, neutralising them in a controlled way and documenting the work so it can be followed up.
