4、 ITU-T A.8 procedures. ii Rec. ITU-T L.24 (11/2009) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a p

5、ermanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, esta

6、blishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary st

7、andards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the R

8、ecommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalent

9、s are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed

10、 Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not

11、received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-

16、), the environmental activities in the operators companies, manufacturers and contractors had to adapt their procedures of classification of outside plant waste in the infrastructure of telecommunication networks. There is a very considerable amount of outside plant waste, some of which includes pro

17、ducts that may be considered to be dangerous, toxic or ecotoxic. A waste product may be classified as toxic and dangerous waste (TDW) if, and only if, it contains any of the constituents listed in Table 1, and if these, in turn, present any of the characteristics shown in Table 2, in the proportions

18、 and limits considered in the current international regulations (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS).

36、characterization of the different residues emanating from the outside plant be carried out in accordance with the following waste product characterization tests. 4 Rec. ITU-T L.24 (11/2009) 6.1 Content declared to be carcinogenic The constituents of the waste are compared with the list of agents whi

37、ch may be considered as carcinogenic for man, in accordance with the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Waste products which contain any agent included in the aforementioned list in a concentration of 0.01% are assigned the code H7. 6.2 Flammability screening This method allows the

38、flammability potential of the residue to be characterized, whether it is liquid, solid or semi-solid. According to law, a residue is to be identified by an H code if its burning point is less than or equal to 55C, the burning point being defined as the temperature, adjusted for an atmospheric pressu

39、re of 101.325 kPa, at which the test liquid gives off vapours in a sealed container under the conditions defined in the test method and in amounts which produce a flammable vapour/air mixture in the aforementioned container. Two tests are performed: Test A Five grammes of the finely crushed sample a

40、re placed in an aluminium crucible and a reducing flame is applied for 2 or 3 s, without touching it. If the sample ignites, the burning point should be ascertained. Otherwise, the flame should be applied directly to the sample for at least 15 s. If the sample ignites, it is to be considered as havi

41、ng a positive flammability. If the sample melts, boils or decomposes, the flammability test is to be considered as negative. Test B For liquid waste, 100 ml of the sample is used for carrying out the test. In the case of solids, 2 g should be dissolved in 100 ml of water and the test performed on th

42、e resulting solution. The solution containing the residue is placed in a beaker which is then covered with a watch-glass and left to sit at an ambient temperature for five minutes, after which sparks are applied to the vapour area located immediately above the sample. The sample is considered to pre

43、sent a positive flammability potential if a flash appears in the vapour or the sample ignites. The methods described are based on 67/548/EEC and on ASTM Standard D4982-89, Standard Test Methods for Flammability Potential Screening Analysis of Waste. The positive or negative results of both tests are

44、 to be noted on the waste product characterization screening sheet, together with the ambient temperature at the time the test was performed. In the event of a clearly negative result, full flammability screening will not be necessary since, if the sample withstands the temperature of a Bunsen burne

45、r without igniting, its burning point is very much higher than that established by law. In the event of a positive result in Test A, a more detailed analysis of the wastes behaviour may be necessary in order to ascertain its burning point according to the methods described in clause 6.3. Once the bu

46、rning point has been determined, the waste may be classified as easily flammable (H2A), flammable (H2B) or highly flammable (H2C). In the event of a positive result in Test B, the waste product shall be designated by the code H2A. Rec. ITU-T L.24 (11/2009) 5 6.3 Burning point As indicated above, a w

47、aste product shall be considered dangerous and toxic if its burning point is less than or equal to 55C, as defined in clause 6.2. The methods to be followed for determining the burning point of liquid substances whose vapours may be kindled by ignition sources are described here, since the law does

48、not describe any method for determining the burning point of solid samples. Solid specimens should be dissolved in a sufficient amount of water and the test performed on the resulting liquid. There are two acceptable methods for determining the burning point of waste, according to 67/548/EEC and sta

49、ndards ISO 1516, ISO 3680, ISO 1523, ISO 3679, ISO 2719 and ASTM D-56. 1) Balanced method i) Balanced method in a closed beaker The sample is placed in a closed beaker, submerged in a bath and heated by slowly raising the temperature of the bath so that the temperature difference between the bath and the sample does not exceed 2C. Moreover, it should be ensured that the temperature of the sample increases at a rate which does not exceed 0.5C in 1.5 min. At intervals of at least 1.5 min, ignition tests should be carried out through the a
