Overview

EN 50625-2-2:2015 (CENELEC/CLC) is the European standard that specifies collection, logistics and treatment requirements for WEEE containing CRTs and flat panel displays. It is Part 2 of EN 50625 and supplements EN 50625-1:2014 by defining treatment-specific requirements for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and flat panel displays (FPDs) - including protection against pollution, control of hazardous substances (e.g. mercury, fluorescent coatings, lead in frit), worker safety, and documentation until end-of-waste or final recycling/recovery/disposal.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability: Applies to all operators involved in handling, sorting, storage and treatment of WEEE containing CRTs and FPDs until fractions reach end-of-waste, are recycled, recovered or disposed.
• Training: Employees must be trained to identify CRT- and FPD-containing equipment beyond TVs/monitors (e.g. hospital monitors, laptops, kiosks) and to sort displays by technology (mercury backlights vs. non-mercury).
• Handling and storage:
  • Crushing, compacting or tampering of CRTs or FPDs prior to de-pollution is prohibited.
  • Storage limits: maximum mass stored should not exceed the quantity that can be treated within six months.
  • Measures to prevent implosion of CRT glass and rupture of mercury backlights (safe unloading, stacking, transport).
• De-pollution and emissions control:
  • CRT treatment must prevent uncontrolled emissions of fluorescent coatings and glass dust; dry breakage requires effective dust extraction and air filtration.
  • FPD treatment must ensure reliable, traceable mercury removal and prevent air/water emissions; workers’ exposure to mercury must be controlled.
  • Wet-process water must be treated before release to the environment.
• Monitoring and documentation: De-pollution monitoring, occupational health monitoring, and downstream documentation to establish recycling and recovery rates are required (see normative annexes for procedures and monitoring frequency).
• Material definitions: Clarifies CRT glass fractions (panel glass, funnel glass, frit) and their hazards (lead, barium/strontium oxides).

Applications and users

Who uses EN 50625-2-2:

• WEEE treatment facilities and recyclers processing CRTs and flat panel displays
• Compliance officers ensuring conformity with Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE)
• Environmental and occupational health managers implementing emissions controls and monitoring
• Designers of treatment lines, air filtration and wastewater management systems Practical uses include developing operating procedures, staff training programs, storage/layout planning, de-pollution workflows, and documentation to demonstrate recycling/recovery performance.

Introduction
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following:
This European Standard aims to assist organisations in:
− achieving 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 Electronic 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 normative document or a comparable set of
requirements.
This European Standard supports the objectives of the Community's 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 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 WEEE containg CRTs
and flat panel 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 derived 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 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 and the term as defined in that law.
