When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Version Superseded: 22/12/2012
EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
CAS No 56-23-5(2)
a Among the industrial establishments referred to under heading A, point 3, of Annex I, reference is made in particular to plants using carbon tetrachloride as solvent. | ||||
b A simplified monitoring procedure may be introduced if annual discharges do not exceed 30 kg a year. | ||||
c In view of the volatility of carbon tetrachloride and in order to ensure compliance with Article 3 (6), where a process involving agitation in the open air of effluent containing carbon tetrachloride is used, the Member States shall require compliance with the limit values upstream of the plant concerned; they shall ensure that all water likely to be polluted is taken fully into account. | ||||
d It is not possible at present to adopt limit values for this sector. The Council is to adopt such limit values at a later date, acting on a Commission proposal. | ||||

Textual Amendments
F1 Deleted by Directive 2008/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy, amending and subsequently repealing Council Directives 82/176/EEC, 83/513/EEC, 84/156/EEC, 84/491/EEC, 86/280/EEC and amending Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The reference method of measurement to be used for determining the presence of tetrachloride in effluents and water is gas chromatography.
A sensitive detector must be used when concentration levels are below 0,5 mg/l and in this case the determination limit(3) is 0,1 μg/l. For concentration levels higher than 0,5 mg/l a determination limit(4) of 0,1 mg/l is acceptable.
The accuracy and precision of the method must be ± 50 % at a concentration which represents twice the value of the determination limit(5).
Article 5 applies in particular to use of carbon tetrachloride in industrial laundries.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
