ANNEX IMinimum technical requirements for treatment in accordance with Article 6(1) and (3)
1.Sites for storage (including temporary storage) of end-of-life vehicles prior to their treatament:
impermeable surfaces for appropriate areas with the provision of spillage collection facilities, decanters and cleanser-degeasers,
equipment for the treatment of water, including rainwater, in compliance with health and environmental regulations.
2.Sites for treatment:
impermeable surfaces for appropriate areas with the provision of spillage collection facilities, decanters and cleanser-degreasers,
appropriate storage for dismantled spare parts, including impermeable storage for oil-contaminated spare parts,
appropriate containers for storage of batteries (with electrolyte neutralisation on site or elsewhere), filters and PCB/PCT-containing condensers,
appropriate storage tanks for the segregated storage of end-of-life vehicle fluids: fuel, motor oil, gearbox oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil, cooling liquids, antifreeze, brake fluids, battery acids, air-conditioning system fluids and any other fluid contained in the end-of-life vehicle,
equipment for the treatment of water, including rainwater, in compliance with health and environmental regulations,
appropriate storage for used tyres, including the prevention of fire hazards and excessive stockpiling.
3.Treatment operations for depollution of end-of-life vehicles:
removal of batteries and liquified gas tanks,
removal or neutralisation of potential explosive components, (e.g. air bags),
removal and separate collection and storage of fuel, motor oil, transmission oil, gearbox oil, hydraulic oil, cooling liquids, antifreeze, brake fluids, air-conditioning system fluids and any other fluid contained in the end-of-life vehicle, unless they are necessary for the re-use of the parts concerned,
removal, as far as feasible, of all components identified as containing mercury.
4.Treatment operations in order to promote recycling:
removal or catalysts,
removal of metal components containing copper, aluminium and magnesium if these metals are not segregated in the shredding process,
removal of tyres and large plastic components (bumpers, dashboard, fluid containers, etc), if these materials are not segregated in the shredding process in such a way that they can be effectively recycled as materials,
removal of glass.
5.
Storage operations are to be carried out avoiding damage to components containing fluids or to recoverable components and spare parts.
