Good practice standards of care – down the chain

When sending disassembled (or intact) WEEE for further treatment, the remanufacturer must make sure:

  • it meets the guidelines and recommendations set out here and in the Guidelines and recommendations for WEEE reuse and recycling operators section
  • any specific hazardous substances identified in table 9 are dealt with appropriately
  • overseas operators have appropriate management, technical and operational systems to minimise the release of hazardous materials, and that any specific hazards are treated to at least the minimum accepted treatment criteria
  • Basel permit is in place, where appropriate.
