Ultrasonic cleaners: record the unit separately from the cleaning process

Record the manufacturer, exact model, serial number and matching manual. Copy tank and other technical details from reliable model-specific documents, retaining their units and qualifications. A rough external measurement should not be presented as the manufacturer's working capacity.

List the included baskets, lids, supports and other accessories individually. Note which items are shared, retained or missing. Photograph identifiable accessories with the unit, but do not imply that an improvised insert is a manufacturer's approved part.

Service records should say what work was performed and when. A repaired control or heater does not establish the condition of every system. Known faults and unverified functions need their own wording.

Unit identifier:

Processes and types of parts cleaned:

Known cleaning products: names and available records, with unknown periods identified.

Changes in use: dates or approximate periods, labelled as such.

Preparation before sale: work completed, by whom and supporting records.

Remaining uncertainty: information missing or requiring competent assessment.

Declaration prepared by and date:

This is a record of what the seller knows. It is not a decontamination certificate. Do not improve uncertain information into a confident claim simply to fill a blank field.

For a unit used with metalworking washing fluids, HSE's relevant guidance provides Great Britain context on associated health risks. Use appropriate advice for the actual process and substances, and check Northern Ireland requirements separately. No cleaning recipe, draining procedure or chemical compatibility advice is provided here.

The previous-contents guide helps organise an incomplete history. If the workshop also has a supplier-managed parts washer, establish its separate ownership and service arrangement; do not assume the ultrasonic unit has the same contract.

Electrical records belong with the correct machine. The PAT-label guide explains their limits, including why a label does not establish every aspect of present condition.

Give UK Auction Group the equipment record, accessory list and declaration. Agree which missing facts need investigation before publication, and ensure the final photographs show only the items actually included.
