Overview
EN 50625-2-1:2014 (CLC) - Collection, logistics and treatment requirements for WEEE, Part 2-1: Treatment requirements for lamps - is a European normative standard that specifies technical, organisational and operational requirements for the treatment of waste lamps (WEEE lamps). It supplements EN 50625-1 (General treatment requirements) and applies to lamp treatment until end-of-waste status is achieved or lamp fractions are recycled, recovered or disposed of. The standard addresses all operators and facilities (including mobile equipment operations) involved in handling, sorting, storage and treatment of lamps.
Key topics and technical requirements

- Administrative & organisational controls
- Site risk management process that identifies hazards, assesses risks and documents controls (including emergency and fire scenarios).
- Occupational health measures addressing mercury and other lamp‑specific hazards.
- Infrastructure and technical pre-conditions
- Facilities sized and equipped for the performed activities (including impermeable surfaces and weatherproof coverings where emissions may occur).
- Access and security measures to prevent theft and damage.
- Handling, receiving and storage
- Verification of incoming deliveries and mass recording.
- Limit: stored lamps should not exceed the quantity that can be treated within six months under normal production conditions.
- Careful handling to prevent breakage and uncontrolled release of hazardous substances.
- De-pollution and mercury management
- Mercury must be removed; treatment design must minimise mercury releases.
- Prohibition of diluting mercury-containing fractions to lower concentration for disposal.
- Examples of mercury recovery methods are referenced (e.g., enclosed thermal retort).

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.

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.

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.
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

The EN 50625-2-1:2014 standard is a pivotal document dedicated to the treatment requirements for lamps within the framework of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This European standard delineates comprehensive protocols for the treatment of lamps from the point of collection through to achieving end-of-waste status. As such, it serves a critical role in ensuring that lamp fractions are recycled, recovered, or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its inclusive applicability. It encompasses all operators engaged in the treatment of lamps, thereby facilitating a uniform approach to handling, sorting, and storage practices. This extensiveness ensures that all parties involved in the lifecycle of lamp treatment are aligned with the same guidelines, promoting consistency and efficiency across the industry. Additionally, the standard's relevance is heightened by its applicability to various facilities, including those employing mobile treatment equipment. This flexibility allows for a broad range of operational contexts, making it easier for businesses to comply with the established treatment requirements. The EN 50625-2-1:2014 standard not only emphasizes best practices in the treatment of lamps but also reinforces the overarching goals of environmental sustainability and resource recovery within the waste management sector. Its structured guidelines provide a robust framework that operators can rely on to navigate the complexities associated with lamp waste, contributing positively to both compliance and ecological responsibility.
