the requirement of the European Commission’s Mandate, it is necessary to include normative requirements,
such as target and limit values for the analysis, into a document that may be revised to take into account
both practical experience and changes in treatment technologies.

4 De-pollution monitoring
4.1 Introduction
The following paragraphs cover de-pollution monitoring and refer to 5.6 of EN 50625-1:2014. The target
values and limit values defined in this Technical Specification apply to the three methodologies stated in 5.6
of EN 50625-1:2014:
• ‘Target value methodology’ - compare a measurement of the mass of de-polluted fractions in the
outgoing stream with the corresponding target value;
• ‘Mass balance methodology’ - establish a mass balance between incoming and outgoing streams;
• ‘Analysis methodology’ - analyse representative samples from relevant fractions that result from the
treatment of WEEE.
NOTE In order to ensure that the target values and limit values remain ‘state of the art’ it is planned to review, and
where necessary revise, them with a frequency of approximately 3 years.
When applying the methodologies to assess the de-pollution monitoring the sampling protocols shall be used
(normative annex).
4.2 Target value methodology
This methodology uses the following approach:
• establish targets: these masses per unit of input mass are obtained either by using the formula given in
6.2, 7.2, 8.2 and 10.2 or by using the values given in Table C.1 and Table C.2 of Annex C (which are
based on the background of comparable studies developed in Europe (see Bibliography));
• perform a batch process: determine the mass of the specified components removed by performing a
batch process according to the methodology of Annex D of EN 50625-1:2014;
• evaluate the de-pollution performances: compare the results of the batch process with the specified
target values.
As stated in B.2 of EN 50625-1:2014, to verify the efficiency of de-pollution during the performing of a batch
process, corresponding target value(s) shall be reached.

SIST-TS CLC/TS 50625-3-1:2015
CLC/TS 50625-3-1:2015 (E)
4.3 Mass Balance methodology
This methodology uses the following approach:
• establish target values in terms of share of a pollutant in the output compared to the input of this
pollutant (100 %);
• assess the quantity of a defined pollutant in the input of a batch and measure the quantity of that
pollutant in the output fraction(s);
• evaluate the de-pollution performances by comparing the results of the batch process with the specified
target values.
As stated in 5.6 and B.1 of EN 50625-1:2014, to verify the efficiency of de-pollution for specific type of
WEEE, e.g. temperature exchange equipment, a mass balance shall be performed and the corresponding
target values shall be achieved.
4.4 Analysis methodology
This methodology uses the following approach:
• establish the limits: these values are defined in this Technical Specification and are based on the
background of comparable studies and legislation;
• sample the output fractions: the sample for the analysis shall be prepared according to the sampling
procedure defined in this Technical Specification;
• evaluate the analysis’ results: the concentration of substances shall be determined according to the
analysis procedure defined in this Technical Specification;
• evaluate the de-pollution performance: compare the results of the analysis with the defined limit values.
If the results of the analysis are below the limit values then the performance of de-pollution fulfils the
requirements.
As required by B.3 and B.4 of EN 50625-1:2014, the quality of de-pollution shall be measured by comparing
the results of the analysis with the corresponding limit values.
The analysis establishes the amount of substances or substances that indicate the presence of items
included in Annex F of EN 50625-1:2014 in the output fractions (if applicable to the treatment process).
A laboratory shall perform the analysis on the samples for the residual amount of PCB, cadmium and
bromine.
Depending on the treatment process used, one of the techniques below, as used in Annexes A and B, shall
be used to obtain a representative mixed sample:
• sampling during a treatment process;
• post process sampling.
NOTE 1 All the sampling protocols are based on EN 14899.
Analysis protocols will be implemented by laboratories. There are many types of physical-chemical analysis
and this Technical Specification describes the suitable method for each type of sample.
NOTE 2 In related standards and in chemical analysis processing a sample is often called digestion of a sample.
Chemical analysis including processing of the samples should be performed by a laboratory that complies
with EN ISO/IEC 17025. If the laboratory does not comply with EN ISO/IEC 17025 then duplicate samples

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST-TS CLC/TS 50625-3-1:2015
CLC/TS 50625-3-1:2015 (E)
shall be sent for checking to laboratory that does meet EN ISO/IEC 17025 on a regular basis, according to a
defined process.
NOTE 3 The laboratory can be internal to the treatment operator or a third party laboratory.
The preparation of the test portion of the sample to be analyzed shall be carried out according to EN 15002
and then:
• for cadmium, the digestion of the sample and the subsequent analysis shall be carried out by ICP-OES
or ICP-MS according to EN 62321-5. As an alternative the digestion shall be carried out according to
EN 13656 and the subsequent analysis performed according to EN ISO 11885 or the EN ISO 17294
series;
• for bromine, the digestion of the sample and the subsequent analysis shall be carried out in accordance
with EN 14582;
• for PCB, the digestion (e.g. homogenization) of the sample and the subsequent analysis shall be carried
out in accordance with EN 15308 or US EPA 8082A/2007, quantification of PCBs as congeners.
NOTE 4 ICP-OES is an abbreviation for Inductively Coupled Plasma/Optical Emission Spectrometry and ICP-MS is
an abbreviation for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, which are the two methods of chemical analysis to
be used when analyzing cadmium.

6 Large appliances
6.1 Introduction
The de-pollution monitoring of large appliances (LA) shall use both the target value methodology and the
analysis methodology.
6.2 Target value methodology
The target value C (kg of capacitors per tonne of large appliances treated), given in this Technical
tot LA
Specification, shall be reached.
The requirements for capacitors given in this Technical Specification are for capacitors containing
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and all capacitors of height > 25 mm, diameter > 25 mm or proportionately
similar volume which been removed, either as a distinct fraction or an identifiable (part of) a stream;
see 11.2.
NOTE 1 It is difficult to differentiate between electrolytic capacitors greater than 25 mm and non-electrolytic
capacitors greater than 25 mm. Therefore, when performing a batch process, all capacitors identified above are taken
into account, even though Directive 2012/19/EU does not require all of them to be removed.
Two approaches to determine the target values are permitted by this Technical Specification, either by
applying the calculation below or, in the case that the operator is not able to provide data for r, (related to
i
different input categories treated in this flow or distinct mixtures of them) by using the appropriate target
values defined in Annex C.
For each type of appliance (i=1…n) the mass of the capacitors per tonne (C) contained in it shall be
i
determined.
For each type of appliance (i=1…n) the composition rate (r ) shall be determined for the LA flow.
i
The target value shall be calculated by the following formula:
NOTE 2 An example of the calculation for the target value C is given in Annex D.
tot LA
NOTE 3 The factor of 90 % in the formula is to allow for variation and the limit of the technologies.
NOTE 4 The sampling results can be different, for example, from the western countries to the eastern countries and
can differ from operator to operator because it is related to the type of product treated.
The values for parameters C and r shall be determined after analysis of data obtained after processing, at
i i
least, an amount of WEEE as defined in Table D.1 of EN 50625-1:2014.
6.3 Analysis methodology
For large appliances the operator shall perform an analysis on the physically smallest non-metallic
mechanical treatment fraction. In this case it is necessary to determine the concentration of Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCB), the limit value being 50 mg/kg.
Annex A contain the protocols for sampling this fraction.
If a mixture of large and small appliances is treated in the same process the de-pollution limit value for
cadmium in the mixture shall be equal to the limit value for small appliances, the limit value being 100 mg/kg.
