Pyrotechnic components

Pyrotechnic components deployed in an actual accident can be disposed of as industrial waste.

CAUTION!
This does not apply to belt tensioners that function according to the Wankelstraffer principle. These are to be treated like undeployed pyrotechnic components (such as airbags, seat belts, pyrotechnic battery components). Reason: Workshop equipment cannot determine if Wankelstraffer belt tensioners have deployed all pyrotechnic materials.
