BS EN 50625-2-2:2015EN 50625-2-2:2015 - 4 - Introduction This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following: This European Standard aims to assist organisations in: achiev
4、ing effective and efficient treatment and disposal of WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays in order to prevent pollution and minimize emissions; promoting increased material recycling; promoting high quality recovery operations; preventing inappropriate disposal of Waste Electrical and Elect
5、ronic Equipment (WEEE) containing CRTs and Flat Panel Displays and fractions thereof; assuring protection of human health and safety, and the environment; preventing shipments and, or consignments of WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays to operators whose operations fail to comply with this
6、normative document or a comparable set of requirements. This European Standard supports the objectives of the Communitys environment policy. This aims to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally. That po
7、licy is based on the precautionary principle and the maxims that preventive action to minimize environmental damage should, where possible, be rectified at source and the polluter should pay. This European Standard contains requirements applicable to the treatment of WEEE containg CRTs and flat pane
8、l displays and is a Part 2 of EN 50625-1, Collection, logistics and Treatment requirements for WEEE - Part 1:General treatment requirements. Additionally, this standard will be supported by a technical report that will provide a more detailed comparison between normative treatment requirements deriv
9、ed directly from the legal text of Directive 2012/19/EC, especially Annex VII, and between informative treatment requirements going beyond the strict requirements of Directive 2012/19/EC. This European Standard has been prepared in order to support European legislation and so uses some of the terms
10、defined in European law. In order to ensure that the definitions used in this standard are identical to those defined by law these terms are identified as void, indicating that this standard does not contain a definition, and a Note to entry that identifies which law contains the legal definition an
11、d the term as defined in that law.

33、erations, CRTs and CRT glass shall be separated from the rest of the CRT equipment in a controlled way. This is to avoid the contamination of other components and fractions with fluorescent coatings and lead containing glass. In order to determine that this activity has been carried out correctly th
34、e limits given in the associated technical specification shall be reached. NOTE 1 The limits concerning the content of glass in fractions and lead oxide in panel glass and the residual content of fluorence coating in CRT glass without fluorescent coatings will be described in future technical specif
35、ication TS 506253-3 Collection, logistics and treatment requirements for WEEE Part 33: Specification for de-pollution - WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays. CRTs, CRT glass with fluorescent coatings, and CRT glass contaminated with fluorescent materials shall be considered as hazardous wast
36、e and handled in accordance with hazardous waste requirements set up by national legislation and treatment plant licence. Fluorescent coatings shall be removed from CRTs. Unless determined otherwise, removed fluorescent coatings shall be considered as a hazardous waste and handled accordingly. NOTE
37、2 There is a risk that fluorescent coatings have H6 and H13 and H14 hazardous properties in accordance with Annex 3 of Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste. 5.5.2 Flat panel display equipment Treatment of flat panel displays shall be carried out in a dedicated treatment process to avoid uncontrol
38、led release of hazardous substances into environment. The treatment of flat panel displays shall consider the different types of displays, the fractions and components thereof, and the specific requirements for mercury.

41、ed. NOTE 1 The requirements for fluorescent materials and lead glass will be described in future TS TS 506253-3 Collection, logistics and treatment requirements for WEEE Part 33: Specification for de-pollution - WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays NOTE 2 During mechanical treatment when who
42、le CRT equipment are crushed, there is a risk that fractions other than glass can be polluted by fluorescent coatings. BS EN 50625-2-2:2015- 9 - EN 50625-2-2:2015 5.6.2 Flat panel display equipment For treatment of flat panel display equipment with backlights containing mercury, evidence shall be pr

45、wing is added to sub-clause 5.10: 5.10.1 CRT equipment Only CRT glass that has had the fluorescent material removed (cleaned CRT glass) shall be accepted to recycling or recovery processes. NOTE 1 The requirements for the proportion of fluorescent material to be removed will be defined as a target v
46、alue in TS 506253-3 Collection, logistics and treatment requirements for WEEE Part 33: Specification for de-pollution - WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays. NOTE 2 According to the waste treatment hierarchy, recycling or recovery of fluorescent coatings or their compounds (e.g. europium and
47、 yttrium) is preferred to disposal methods. NOTE 3 Funnel glass or mixtures of CRT glass has a high lead content and so its subsequent use will need to consider the relevant legislation. When lead related limits in applications are not set up by national legislation, then governmental approval or en
48、vironmental product declaration (EDP) in accordance with ISO 14025 shall be applied. 5.10.2 Flat display panel equipment All backlights containing mercury arising from manual dismantling, whether broken or not broken, shall be treated in special treatment plants for lamps or sent for appropriate dis
49、posal in accordance with national legislation. For fractions that could be contaminated with mercury from backlights (i.e. associated printed circuit boards or enclosures) it shall be demonstrated that mercury is removed from such fractions prior to their being sent for recycling. Where a treatment process has concentrated the mecury in a particular fraction, such fractions shall be sent to the correct downstream acceptor.
