Scope
The scope of this Technical report is to provide guidance for the activities of inventory, control, management, decontamination and/or disposal of equipment and containers with insulating liquid containing PCBs, in compliance with the Council Directives (96/59/EC), using Best Available Techniques - BAT - (96/61/EC), Commission Decision (2001/68/EC), Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and/or with appropriate national or local legislation. This Technical report is addressed, in particular, toward the Life Cycle Management (LCM) of insulating liquids and it has been developed in accordance with the following objectives: a) reduction of risks for workers, public health and the environment, arising from human error, malfunction, or failures of the equipment that could cause fires or spillage of hazardous and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS)s; b) implementation of the “Best Available Techniques” (BAT),”Best Environmental Practices”(BEP)and methodologies available for safety, whilst taking into account the surroundings and the criteria of self-sufficiency and functional recovery; c) technical feasibility of the activities within the prescribed time schedules, taking into account current legislation and economic feasibility. NOTE 1 For those CENELEC countries in which the European Directives do not apply, this Technical report has an informative purpose only. Different limits from those given in the present Technical report are required in some countries. NOTE 2 For those countries outside of European Community the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) should be applied. NOTE 3 When reading this Technical report, reference should also be made to Annex C of EN 50195 and Annex B of EN 50225, because in some EU countries (i.e. France, Italy, Poland, Spain, etc.) there are other mandatory requirements.
