ANNEX I U.K. Minimum 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: U.K.

• 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: U.K.

• 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: U.K.

• 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: U.K.

• 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. U.K.
