European foreword
This document (EN 50625-2-3:2017) has been prepared by CLC/TC 111X “Environment”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2018-05-29
implemented at national level by publication
of an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2020-05-29
conflicting with this document have to
be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50574-1:2012.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
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 temperature exchange
equipment.
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:
— subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
— unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101,
including those in a replaced clause or subclause;
— additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
Introduction
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following:
This European Standard is applicable to the treatment of waste temperature exchange equipment and
other WEEE containing VFC or VHC in refrigerants or blowing agents.
This European Standard applies to the treatment of temperature exchange equipment until end-of-
waste status is fulfilled, or temperature exchange equipment fractions are recycled, recovered, or
disposed of.
This European Standard addresses all operators involved in the treatment including related handling,
sorting and storage of temperature exchange equipment.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
This clause of Part 1 is applicable with the following additions:

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
In definition 3.37, the Note 1 to entry is replaced with the following:
Note 1 to entry: Common commercial designations for these materials are R12, R11 for CFCs; R22, R141b for
HCFCs; R134a, R410A, R407C, R32, R1234yf and R1234ze for HFCs.
The following subclauses are added to this clause or Part 1:
3.101
refrigerant
fluid used for heat transfer in a refrigerating system which absorbs heat at a low temperature and a
low pressure of the fluid and rejects it at a higher temperature and higher pressure of the fluid usually
involving reversible changes of the phase of the fluid
[SOURCE: ISO 817:2014]
3.102
refrigerating system
part that uses a refrigerant to transfer thermal energy from one part of an appliance to another part
NOTE 1 to entry: The refrigerating system in new appliances is hermetically sealed and typically also contains
oil.
NOTE 2 to entry: Heat pumps also use a refrigerating system.
3.103
oil
lubricants within the refrigerating system or heat carrier fluids other than water contained in radiators
3.104
blowing agent
substance that is used to produce cells in the structure of an insulating foam
3.105
vacuum insulation panel (VIP)
type of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight evacuated enclosure surrounding a rigid core
Note 1 to entry: VIPs can contain several types of materials, for example glass fibres or silica, etc.
3.106
encapsulated system
set of procedures which ensure that the emission of refrigerants or blowing agents is prevented
3.107
step 1
treatment involving the removal and capturing of refrigerant and oil from the refrigerating system and
subsequently removal and capturing of refrigerants (i.e. VFC, VHC) from oil both done in an
encapsulated system
Note 1 to entry: Other components (i.e. compressors cable, glass shelves, plastic parts, mercury switches,
capacitors, printed circuit boards) can also be removed during step 1 treatment.
3.108
step 2
treatment involving the removal of insulating foam from the cabinet and subsequently removal and
capturing of blowing agents (i.e. VFC, VHC) from insulating foam, both to be done in an encapsulated
system
Note 1 to entry: Other fractions (i.e. ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, water and residual waste) can
also be separated during step 2 treatment.
Note 2 to entry: Step 2 treatment is not applicable for heat pump tumble dryers, de-humidifiers and portable air
conditioners if they do not contain insulating foam.
Note 3 to entry: Absorption refrigerators can have polyurethane insulation containing VFC or VHC and should
consequently be treated in the step 2 and step 3 treatment.
3.109
step 3
treatment involving the disposal or recovery operations for refrigerants and/or blowing agents
Note 1 to entry: The disposal or recovery operations can be done on site of the treatment facil
