Introduction
This clause of Part 1 is replaced with the following:
This European Standard aims to assist organisations in:
— achieving effective and efficient treatment of waste photovoltaic panels in order to prevent pollution and
minimize emissions;
— promoting increased material recycling;
— promoting high quality recovery operations;
— preventing inappropriate disposal of photovoltaic panels and fractions thereof;
— assuring protection of human health and safety, and the environment;
— preventing shipments of waste photovoltaic panels 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 Community's environment policy. These aim to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural
resources prudently and rationally. That policy 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 photovoltaic panels and is a
Part 2 of EN 50625-1, Collection, logistics and Treatment requirements for WEEE - Part 1: General
treatment requirements.
This European Standard has been prepared in order to support European legislation under European
Commission mandate M/518 and so uses some of the terms defined in European law.
