Following the separation of ferrous /non-ferrous concentrate from raw incineration bottom ash, the ferrous metals/aluminium content of the metal concentrate shall be calculated by applying the following formula: m total IBA Fe/Al = m IBA Fe/nFe concentrates · c IBA Fe/Al 3. Data on the mass of ferrous /non-ferrous metal concentrates shall be obtained from facilities that separate metal concentrates from raw incineration bottom ash. 4. The concentration of ferrous metals and aluminium resulting from the processing of raw incineration bottom ash shall be calculated by using data collected by regular surveys from facilities that treat metal concentrates and from facilities that use metals seprated from incineration bottom ash to producing metal products by applying the following formulas: (a) for ferrous metals , and (b) for aluminium 5. The mass of recycled ferrous metals/aluminium originating from packaging waste in all recycled ferrous metals/aluminium separated from incineration bottom ash shall be determined through sampling surveys of the waste that enters the incineration operation. These surveys shall be carried out at least every five years and when there are reasons to expect that the composition of the incinerated waste has significantly changed. The mass of ferrous metals/aluminium originating from packaging waste shall be calculated by applying the following formula: . ANNEX IV Format for quality check I.
