This document specifies guidelines for wastewater treatment and reuse in thermal power plants, including the types and characteristics of wastewater and the technologies of wastewater treatment and reuse. In this document, thermal power plant drainage systems are divided into fuel supply, chemical water treatment, boiler and auxiliary, recirculating cooling, flue gas processing, gasification scrubber and ash handling. Wastewater from these systems is classified in accordance with its system sources. In addition, technical guidelines for wastewater treatment and reuse are provided according to the water requirements of systems in the thermal power plant. This document is formulated to provide feasible technical guidance for the treatment and reuse of wastewater in thermal power plants. It is applicable to coal-fired, oil-fired, gas-fired (including gas turbine), biomass-fired, waste incineration and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) thermal power plants.

This document is applicable to the processes relating to the preparing for re-use of WEEE. NOTE 1 This document covers the preparing for re-use of WEEE arising from electrical and electronic equipment as listed in Annex I and Annex III of Directive 2012/19/EU. This document is applicable to preparing for re-use operators only and does not cover activities connected with used or second-hand equipment that have not become waste. It applies to all preparing for re-use operators, no matter their size or main focus of activity. This document assists in quantifying re-use, recycling and recovery rates in conjunction with EN 50625 1. In case of treatment operations (including the collection and logistics of WEEE) other than preparing for re-use, the EN 50625 series applies. Preparing for re-use processes includes the removal of whole components or parts where they are intended to either be used in the repair of faulty equipment or sold as re-use parts. The following EEE are not in the scope of this document: - industrial monitoring and control instruments; - in vitro diagnostic medical devices, medical devices or active implantable devices. NOTE 2 Examples of industrial monitoring and control instruments include equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and monitoring and control equipment that performs a safety function as part of industrial control system. NOTE 3 in vitro diagnostic medical devices, medical devices and active implantable devices have the capacity to collect and harbour pathogens, depending on the environment in which they operated. It is essential to follow clinically proven means for decontamination. Relevant Directives are 93/42/EEC and 98/79/EC.

This document specifies a system for sampling procedures for testing plastics waste and recyclates which take into account the specifics of the plastics waste and recyclates. It is intended to cover all stages of the plastic recycling process.
The sampling procedures include the statistical specifics of the plastic waste and the behaviour of recyclates.
The sampling method is expected to produce a representative testing sample. Differences can arise due to:
-   the mixture of plastics;
-   the origin (e.g. green dot in Germany, or electronic/automotive industry);
-   the previous use of the plastic material;
-   the residual contents (e.g. of containers);
-   inert, residual or moisture content on or in the material.

This Technical Specification specifies an analytical method for testing food grade, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This analytical method provides / is intended to be used as a quality control check. This test identifies and quantifies certain specified contaminants. Such contaminants are referred to as Marker Compounds.
The analytical method is applicable for use on PET samples and products at all stages in the recycling process and will therefore be useful to recycling companies producing commercial, recycled PET for food contact materials and articles, and the manufacturers of such articles.
This Technical Specification is without prejudice to any existing legislation.
NOTE   Marker compounds are known to originate from two sources:
-   from the PET material itself (i.e. residual monomers, degradation products or reaction/breakdown products);
-   from food products that the PET has contacted during its first use.
WARNING: The use of this Technical Specification may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
Persons using this Technical Specification should be familiar with normal laboratory practise. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practises and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT - It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this Technical Specification be carried out by suitably trained staff.

This European Standard gives guidelines for the characterisation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) recyclates.
It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing PET recyclates intended to be used for the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended for use by the supplier and purchaser of such materials, to assist them in agreeing on specifications.
This European Standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.

This Technical Specification specifies the preparation of samples of recycled plastics prior to testing and takes account of the specifics of the material. Sample preparation should avoid any process that causes 'de-mixing' of the sample. Following preparation, the sample should remain representative. The behaviour of contaminants should be carefully analysed and observed to ensure this is homogeneous. This Technical Specification does not address any legal or product safety issues.

This European Standard specifies a simple method for the examination of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA) Aggregates for the purpose of estimating the relative proportions of metallic constituents.
This European Standard describes the reference methods used for type testing and, in case of dispute, for estimating the relative proportions of aluminium or other metallic constituents of MIBA Aggregates. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
NOTE   MIBA Aggregates can also contain agglomerates which only contain a portion of metal. A supplementary method for preparation of a test portion containing agglomerated particles, using crushing and sieving, is given in Annex A (normative).

This European Standard specifies methods for the safe gas freeing and disposal of refillable LPG cylinders manufactured from steel, composite materials and aluminium, of water capacity 0,5 litres up to and including 150 litres.
This European Standard is applicable to the following:
-   welded and brazed steel LPG cylinders with a specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 1442 and EN 12807 or equivalent standard);
-   welded steel LPG cylinders without specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 14140 or equivalent standard);
-   welded aluminium LPG cylinders (see EN 13110 or equivalent standard);
-   composite LPG cylinders (see EN 14427 or equivalent standard).
This European Standard is intended to be applied to cylinders complying with ADR (including pi marked cylinders) and also to existing non ADR cylinder populations.

This Technical Report provides some examples of substances and materials that may cause a sustained impediment in the recycling activities, and is intended to assist in the assessment requirements set out in the standard EN 13430.
It describes substances or materials which cause problems or inhibit the recycling process, or which have a negative influence on the quality of recycled material, and for which it is considered that technological solutions will not be developed in the near future.
These examples are however qualified by the fact that the recycling operations can vary from region to region and state to state, that technology is constantly changing, and that the use to which the recycled material is put will also determine whether such substances and materials are a problem.
