- 3 - EN 50625-2-1:2014 Foreword This document (EN 50625-2-1:2014) has been prepared by CLC/TC 111X "Environment". The following dates are fixed: • latest date by which this document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorse-ment (dop) 2015-10-13 • latest date by which the national standards con-flicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2017-10-13
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of EN 50625-1.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to EN 50625-1.
This Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 50625-1, so as to convert that publication into the European Standard: Treatment requirements for lamps.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2, that subclause applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used: – additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used: – requirements: in roman type; – changes compared to part 1: in italic type.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this doc-ument. SIST EN 50625-2-1:2015

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 waste lamps in order to prevent pollution and minimise emissions; − promoting increased material recycling; − promoting high quality recovery operations; − preventing inappropriate disposal of lamps and fractions thereof; − assuring protection of human health and safety, and the environment; − preventing shipments of lamps 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 utilise natural resources prudently and rationally. That policy is based on the pre-cautionary principle and the maxims that preventive action to minimise environmental dam-age should, where possible, be rectified at source and the polluter should pay.
This European Standard contains requirements applicable to the treatment of lamps and is a Part 2 of EN 50625-1, Collection, logistics & 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 require-ments 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 Di-rective 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 identi-fies which law contains the legal definition and the term as defined in that law.

- 5 - EN 50625-2-1:2014 1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following:
This European standard is applicable to the treatment of lamps.
This European Standard applies to the treatment of lamps until end-of-waste status is ful-filled, or lamp fractions are recycled, recovered, or disposed of.
This European Standard addresses all operators involved in the treatment including related handling, sorting, and storage of lamps. This European Standard applies to all facilities includ-ing those whose treatment operations use mobile equipment.
2 Normative references This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
3 Terms & definitions This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
4 Administrative and organisational requirements This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
Sub-clause 4.2 is replaced with the following:
4.2 Technical and infrastructural pre-conditions
The lamp treatment operator shall possess infrastructure, in terms of size, technologies in-stalled and characteristics of the operations, that is suitable for the activities performed on site. A risk management process shall be in operation at the site. This shall monitor and con-trol all tasks performed on site and include the identification of hazards, the assessment of risk and, where appropriate, the elimination or reduction of the risk and documentation of the process.
The risk assessment shall consider emissions to the environment (i.e. water, air and soil) and occupational health. It shall include normal storage, treatment, plant maintenance and servicing, as well as cases of emergencies including accidental fire events. The treatment op-erator shall implement measures to prevent emissions into the environment, reflecting all rele-vant risks identified in the risk assessment. Used carbon filters shall be treated appropriately. If water is used in processing it shall be appropriately stored and treated / disposed of. The ef-fectiveness of the risk assessment shall be verified by regular monitoring, according to An-nex AA.
NOTE 1 Examples of measures to prevent hazardous emissions: environmental management system, carbon filters, a closed water sewer system or a firewater retention reservoir.
Treatment operators shall perform regular monitoring of emissions of hazardous substances to the en-vironment so as to ensure levels that none are at a level which is considered to present an unaccepta-ble risk.
NOTE 2 The fulfilment of limit values that define unacceptable risks for various substances and associated requirements for the frequency of monitoring are often described in national regulations or site permitting requirements.

EN 50625-2-1:2014 – 6 –
The risk assessment shall include the identification of those locations and activities that require the use of personal protective equipment and procedures to be followed.
NOTE 3 Directive 89/391/EEC provides requirements for the safety and health for the protec-tion of workers at work.
The operator shall implement appropriate measures to control its employees’ exposure to mer-cury and other hazards specific to lamps. Such measures shall include, but are not limited to:
• Personal protective equipment removed and stored in a designated area/container before leaving the work place (at the end of the day or before commencing a break) to avoid contamination; and • Workers washing their hands whenever leaving the worki
