29、 of which is held by NEN. The preparation of this document by CEN is based on a mandate by the European Commission (Mandate M/395), which assigned the development of standards on the characterization of waste from extractive industries. The target audience of this guidance document includes all stak

30、eholders concerned with the management of extractive waste including authorities, regulators, waste producers, consultants and testing laboratories. The overall guidance document is one out of three guideline documents (TR, technical reports) and one technical specification (TS) on aspects related t

31、o the characterization of extractive wastes developed by CEN/TC 292. These four documents are: overall guidance document for characterization of waste from extractive industries (CEN/TR 16376); guidance on sampling of wastes from extractive industries (CEN/TR 16365); kinetic testing for sulfidic was

32、te from extractive industries (CEN/TR 16363); and sampling and analysis of cyanides (WAD) discharged into tailings ponds (CEN/TS 16229). In addition to these four documents, CEN/TC 292 developed a European Standard (EN 15875) for static determination of acid and neutralization potential of sulfidic

33、waste (acid-base accounting). The overall guidance document applies to waste from extractive industries according to the waste definition in Art. 3 para 1 of the Directive 2008/98/EC on Waste. Therefore, as far as residues from the extractive industries are mentioned in this document they are only c

34、overed if they fulfil the criteria of the above mentioned waste definition. This document provides guidance and is not a required procedure. It gives recommendations on what to evaluate during characterization of waste from extractive industries. It provides a tool box with many different methods th

35、at may or may not be applicable in a specific case, and it is not a legally binding document. PD CEN/TR 16376:2012CEN/TR 16376:2012 (E) 6 Introduction Waste from the extractive industries can only be managed properly if sufficient knowledge about its geochemical and physical properties and behaviour

36、 is available. Such knowledge may be obtained through characterization of the waste. Consequently, Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries and the associated Commission Decisions on waste facility class

37、ification, inert waste definition and waste characterization include several requirements related to characterization of waste. In one of its decisions the European Commission states that: “The purpose of the characterization of extractive waste is to obtain the relevant information on the waste to

38、be managed in order to be able to assess and monitor its properties, behaviour and characteristics and thereby ensure that it is managed under environmentally safe conditions in the long term. Furthermore, the characterization of extractive waste should facilitate the determination of the options fo

39、r managing such waste and the related mitigation measures in order to protect human health and the environment.” A multitude of methods and tools are available for various waste characterization purposes some are standardized and some are not. Often several methods that differ only slightly from eac

40、h other are available for the same purpose. Tradition and geography often determine which method is used. In some cases, the use of specific methods is required by legislation. Within EU legislation, European (CEN) Standards and methods are generally preferred if they are available. The implementati

41、on of Directive 2006/21/EC and the COM decisions calls for appropriate waste characterization which may be achieved by the use of several characterization methods and standards. Some of these methods and standards have been applied in the extractive industry for many years, while others have been le

42、ss commonly used in this context. In a few cases, it has been necessary to develop or initiate development of new CEN standards for the purpose. This overall guidance document has been developed by CEN under mandate M/395 by the European Commission to support stakeholders in the EU Member States inv

43、olved in the characterization and management of extractive waste in selecting the appropriate waste characterization tools (standards or methods) for a given purpose related to the management of extractive wastes and to the requirements of Directive 2006/21/EC and the associated COM decisions. Furth

44、ermore; it is meant to provide information on the possibilities and limitations of the methods and to provide some guidance on where to find further information on the interpretation and application of the waste characterization results. The overall guidance document is intended to cover all the dif

45、ferent waste categories produced by the wide range of sectors within the extractive industry and to reflect state-of-the-art with respect to waste characterization methods. It is the purpose of the document to provide the stakeholders with an overall summary of the specific aspects of characterizing

46、 waste from the extractive industries, but it will not replace the in-depth expertise required in most cases. Stakeholders include authorities, regulators, operators/waste producers, consultants and test laboratories. PD CEN/TR 16376:2012CEN/TR 16376:2012 (E) 7 1 Scope This Technical Report gives gu

47、idance and recommendations on the application of methods for the characterization of waste from extractive industries1, i.e. wastes resulting from the prospecting, extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources and the working of quarries. The document covers characterization methods for bot

48、h physical and geochemical properties and also other significant aspects, from planning to interpretation and reporting. The main purpose of the document is to aid the extractive industry and regulatory agencies in the member states in understanding how to perform waste characterization for planned, active and closed extractive operations. The document includes a discussion on when and why characterization may be needed and on the contexts within which characterization data may need to be applied. However, it does not cover information
