Processes concerned Manual Dismantling of CRT display appliances and splitting of CRT Process n°1 Shredding of CRT Process n°2 Shredding of CRT display appliances Process n°3 Definition of the fraction to be analysed Fractions can consist in: Fraction 1: Ferrous parts of CRT (anti-implosive metal frame, shadow masks) Process n°1 and Process n°2 Fraction 2: Ferrous metal parts of CRT appliance (speakers, screws, anti-implosive metal frame, shadow masks…) Process n°3 Fraction 3: Mix fraction after shredding and glass separation composed of metal parts, plastics, wood, deflection coil… Process n°3 Fraction 4: Deflection coils components (copper coil freely placed on cone that deflects electron beams emitted by electron gun) Process n°1 and Process n°2 Fraction 5: Electron guns Process n°1 and Process n°2 Substances to be analysed and limit values Residual CRT glass (on-site analysis) Fraction 1 : 2% Fraction 2 : 2% Fraction 3 : 2% Fraction 4 : 4% Fraction 5 : 8% Sampling protocol Population – Sub-population – Reference, context Requirement Population The population is defined as the annual production of the concerned fraction from the treatment of CRT One analysis result per year for all qualities of CRT (if several qualities treated separately, the result will be calculated as the weighted average of the different analysis results on each quality) Subpopulations Subpopulations should be considered only if different qualities of CRT are treated separately (e.g. ; monitors and TVs) One analysis per subpopulation. Sampling can be performed at any moment of the year, during a treatment campaign of CRT.
In all countries, the accreditation is awarded per matrix. If it exists, accreditation for “granular waste” or “solid waste” must be required, otherwise, laboratory must be accredited for solid and granular matrices like “soil”, “sediment” or “sludge”. The technical schedule of accreditation describes precisely the analytical standards that the laboratory is accredited for. If standards required in the protocols described here are not included in that document, see if it contains other standards for the same substances. If so, it is necessary to validate with the laboratory their ability to implement the required standards. In this case, technical exchanges shall be necessary to validate the other standards.
