EN 50625-2-1:2014BS EN 50625-2-1:2014Introduction This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following: This European Standard aims to assist organisations in: achieving effective and efficient t
14、reatment and disposal of waste lamps in order to prevent pollution and minimise emissions; promoting increased material recycling; promoting high quality recovery operations; preventing inappropriate disposal of lamps and fractions thereof; assuring protection of human health and safety, and the env
15、ironment; preventing shipments of lamps to operators whose operations fail to comply with this normative document or a comparable set of requirements. This European Standard supports the objectives of the Communitys environment policy. These aim to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the en
16、vironment, protect human health and utilise natural resources prudently and rationally. That policy is based on the pre-cautionary principle and the maxims that preventive action to minimise environmental dam-age should, where possible, be rectified at source and the polluter should pay. This Europe
17、an Standard contains requirements applicable to the treatment of lamps and is a Part 2 of EN 50625-1, Collection, logistics and Workers washing their hands whenever leaving the working area, eating and smoking in desig-nated areas. NOTE 4 Other hazards specific to lamps treatment may include hazards
18、 arising from broken glass, dust emission, fluorescent powder emission, sodium reaction with water for low pressure sodium lamps, explosion of high pressure lamps etc. NOTE 5 Examples of personal protective equipment are: gloves, glasses, masks, safety shoes and a pro-tective suit. Treatment facilit
19、ies and associated storage areas shall be designed organised, and main-tained: to provide safe access to, and egress from, the site for authorized persons, and to prevent damage to and theft of lamps and fractions thereof. Weatherproof covering and impermeable surfaces shall be provided for all area
20、s where lamps, and fractions thereof, are stored and/or treated if these can cause emissions that are hazardous to the environment. The exposure to water during internal transportation process-es shall be minimized. NOTE 6 Weatherproof covering can, for example, be provided by a lid or cover over a
21、container, or a roofed building. The type of weatherproof covering required will depend of the types and quantities of lamps and fractions thereof. Requirements for the storage of lamps prior to treatment, including requirements for weather-proof covering, are given in 5.4. 5 Technical requirements
22、This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows. 5.1 General Sub-clause 5.1 is replaced with the following: Lamps shall be handled and stored with appropriate care in order to avoid uncontrolled re-lease of hazardous substances to the environment. The treatment operator shall ensure the separa
23、tion and preparation of the fractions in a way that facilitates their recycling, whether the treatment operator performs the separation ac-tivity using its own treatment facilities or uses authorized contractors. NOTE 1 Examples of fractions generated from the separation process of lamps are the sep
24、arat-ed glass fractions, the separated metallic fractions, the separated plastics fractions, the elemental mer-cury, the separated phosphor powders, etc. NOTE 2 Potential applications for output fractions are given in Annex BB. EN 50625-2-1:2014BS EN 50625-2-1:2014If it is uncertain whether lamps co
25、ntain mercury or are contaminated by mercury, they shall be treated as though they do contain mercury. NOTE 3 There is an evident risk of contamination by mercury of the non-containing mercury lamps since they are usually mixed, during the collection, with broken mercury containing lamps in the same
26、 container. A delivery can be treated in a separate treatment process only if there is reliable evidence available on the absence of mercury. If the presence of mercury is detected the entire delivery shall be treated again using a process that removes mercury. The treatment operator shall also es-t
27、ablish and maintain a procedure to confirm the absence of mercury in these inputs. NOTE 4 The “absence of mercury” refers to the absence of mercury containing lamps and/or the absence of lamps contaminated by mercury. 5.2 Receiving of WEEE at treatment facility Sub-clause 5.2 is replaced with the fo
28、llowing: When treatment operators receive deliveries, they shall verify whether the content of the deliv-ery is compliant with the accompanying relevant documentation. The treatment operator shall establish and maintain a procedure in order to deal with noncompliant deliveries. The treatment operato
29、r shall measure and record the mass of each delivery received. 5.3 Handling of WEEE Sub-clause 5.3 is replaced with the following: All handling of lamps, including the loading, unloading and internal transport, shall be car-ried out using appropriate tools, containers and fixings to avoid damage or
30、breakage and to avoid emissions of hazardous substances. Uncontrolled tipping of containers with lamps shall not be permitted. Lamps shall not be handled in a way that subsequent de-pollution or recovery is adversely af-fected. Lamps shall be placed in containers or stacked in a stable manner to pre
31、vent damage or break-age. Empty reusable containers shall be cleaned prior to storage such that there are no remaining materials from broken lamps visible. Non-reusable containers shall be treated such that hazardous residues are removed before disposal. If it is not possible to adequately remove al
32、l hazardous residues then they shall be disposed of in accordance with the requirements defined by the national competent authority. 5.4 Storage of WEEE prior to treatment Sub-clause 5.4 is replaced with the following: The maximum amount of lamps including broken lamps stored by the treatment operat
33、or shall not exceed the amount of lamps that can be treated at their treatment facility within six months. NOTE 1 The amount of lamps that can be treated is calculated based on the normal applied pro-duction conditions (i.e. number of shifts, working hours per shift, throughput per hour). Locations
34、that store WEEE prior to treatment shall have: impermeable surfaces to prevent ground water and soil contamination; EN 50625-2-1:2014BS EN 50625-2-1:2014 weatherproof covering for appropriate areas (see 4.2), so there are no emissions which give rise to an adverse environmental impact. NOTE 2 Techni
35、cal requirements for storage of WEEE are described in Annex VIII of Directive 2012/19/EC. Storage areas for lamps shall be designed and maintained to prevent and control emis-sions to the environment. Storage areas shall be safely accessible for authorised personnel and their equipment. 5.5 De-pollu
36、tion Sub-clause 5.5 is replaced with the following: The mercury shall be removed from the lamps. The design of the treatment steps shall min-imize the release of mercury into the environment in any form. NOTE As an example, mercury could be removed from lamp fractions (e.g. glass, metal end caps, pl
37、astic, ferrous metal scraps and lamp powder) by using an enclosed thermal retort. Fractions containing mercury shall not be diluted or mixed with other fractions or materials for the purpose of reducing their mercury concentration. 5.6 De-pollution monitoring Sub-clause 5.6 is replaced with the foll
38、owing: The mercury content of fractions intended to be recycled shall be monitored on a regular ba-sis and shall not exceed defined limit values. If there is a mercury removal technology in the downstream treatment process the limit values shall be measured after this process has been applied. If th
39、ere is a mercury removal technology during the production of sec-ondary raw material (e.g. at a smelter) the limit values do not apply. The monitoring shall include both a description of the procedures to remove the mercury and the measurement of the mercury content of the fractions intended to be r
40、ecycled. NOTE 1 The limit values and the monitoring process are being developed and it is proposed that these will be contained in a Technical Specification. NOTE 2 Remaining mercury in the fractions could present a diffuse source of hazardous emis-sions when reused or burned. 5.7 Treatment of non d
41、e-polluted WEEE and fractions Sub-clause 5.7 is not applicable. NOTE The term “non-de-polluted WEEE” in this paragraph refers mostly to WEEE components and sub-stances identified in the Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII, e.g. capacitors, asbestos, batteries have not yet been removed. 5.8 Storage of fra
42、ctions Sub-clause 5.8 is replaced with the following: All fractions shall be stored in a manner such that they meet the requirements for further treatment or recycling. All fractions containing hazardous substances shall be stored in a defined area within the treatment facility in a manner that prev
43、ents diffusion and dispersal of hazardous substances to the environ-ment. Containers used for storage of specific fractions containing mercury, shall be cleaned prior to their reuse for the storage of other fractions. EN 50625-2-1:2014BS EN 50625-2-1:20145.9 Recycling and recovery targets Sub-clause
44、 5.9 is applicable. 5.10 Recovery and disposal of fractions Sub-clause 5.10 is applicable. 5.11 Occupational health monitoring Regular monitoring (see Annex AA) shall prove the effectiveness of the measures under-taken by the risk assessment. The mercury concentration in the air of all working areas
45、 (including storage areas) based upon the risk assessment shall be regularly monitored in accordance with Annex AA. Medical checks of employees shall be performed in accordance with Annex AA. As a best practice target, the occupational limit value at the treatment facility shall not ex-ceed an 8-hou
46、r Threshold Limit Values (TLV). NOTE Commission Directive 2009/161/EU establishes TLV for certain substances, including mercury. The occupational health monitoring shall be documented by the treatment operator in accord-ance with Clause 6. 6 Documentation This clause of Part 1 is applicable. EN 5062
