Overview

CLC/TS 50625-3-2:2016 is a European Technical Specification that defines de-pollution requirements specifically for lamps within the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) treatment framework. It is designed to be used together with the WEEE treatment standard for lamps (EN 50625-2-1) and the general de-pollution specification (CLC/TS 50625-3-1). The document provides sampling and analysis procedures, limit values for residual mercury in lamp treatment fractions, and protocols to verify de-pollution performance.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and relationship: Supplements CLC/TS 50625-3-1 and EN 50625-2-1 to create a complete treatment specification for lamps.
• De-pollution monitoring methodology:
  • Establish limits (defined in the TS).
  • Sample output fractions following the TS sampling procedures.
  • Analyze samples using prescribed analytical methods.
  • Compare results against limit values to evaluate de-pollution performance.
• Limit values for mercury:
  • 10 mg Hg/kg for glass fractions (general).
  • 100 mg Hg/kg for metal and mixed metal–plastic fractions.
  • Note: 5 mg Hg/kg is recommended for glass from linear fluorescent tubes (industry specification).
• Sampling protocols: Annex AA specifies procedures for sampling during and after treatment; protocols are based on EN 14899.
• Analysis and laboratory competence:
  • Analysis standards referenced include EN 62321-4, EN ISO 12846, EN ISO 17852, EN ISO 17294-2, EPA 6020A and EPA 7473.
  • Laboratories should comply with EN ISO/IEC 17025; non-accredited labs must use duplicate checks with accredited labs.
• Annexes:
  • Annex AA - sampling for lamp treatment fractions.
  • Annex BB - analysis of mercury in lamp fractions.
  • Annex CC - guidance for mercury analysis in heterogeneous metal or mixed metal-plastic fractions.

Practical applications

• Ensures consistent, verifiable de-pollution of mercury from end‑of‑life lamps before recycling or disposal.
• Guides operators on sampling and laboratory analysis to demonstrate compliance with WEEE treatment requirements.
• Supports waste management facilities, lamp recyclers, environmental auditors, and regulators in setting and verifying treatment performance.

Who should use this standard

• WEEE treatment operators and plant managers handling lamp recycling.
• Environmental compliance officers and auditors.
• Testing laboratories performing mercury analysis on lamp fractions.
• Regulators and policy makers implementing WEEE de-pollution controls.

— Part 3-4: Specification for de-pollution — Temperature exchange equipment [currently in preparation].
This Technical Specification is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of CLC/TS 50625-3-1.
This Technical Specification supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in CLC/TS 50625-3-1, so as
to convert that publication into the TS: Treatment specification for lamps.
When a particular subclause of Part 3-1 is not mentioned in this Part 3-2, that subclause applies as far as is
reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the relevant text in Part 3-

NOTE The following numbering system is used:
— subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
— unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
— additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
Introduction
In order to support EN 50625-2-1 and thereby fulfil the requirement of the European Commission’s Mandate
M/518 it is necessary to include normative requirements, such as target and limit values for the analysis, into
a document that is able to be revised to take into account both practical experience and changes in
treatment technologies.
