1 ScopeThis European Standard is applicable to the treatment of waste electrical and electronicequipment (WEEE). This standard will be supplemented, for example by standards coveringspecific equipment.NOTE This European Standard is intended to cover WEEE arising from electrical and electronic equipment aslisted in Annex I and Annex III of Directive 2012/19/EU.This standard applies to the treatment of WEEE until end-of-waste status is fulfilled, or untilthe WEEE is prepared for re-use, recycled, recovered, or disposed of.This standard addresses all operators involved in the treatment including related handling,sorting, and storage of WEEE.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document andare indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. Forundated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including anyamendments) applies.EN 14899, Characterization of waste — Sampling of waste materials — Framework for thepreparation and application of a sampling planEN 50574:2012, Collection, logistics & treatment requirements for end-of-life householdappliances containing volatile fluorocarbons or volatile hydrocarbons
