The ITU Telecommunication Standa

8、rdization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent 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), whi

9、ch meets every four years, establishes 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 I

10、TU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

20、ies can refer to when designing or adjusting their e-waste management systems. It provides guidance on policy/legal frameworks, collection mechanisms, financial mechanisms and engagement with all relevant stakeholders. 2 Definitions 2.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Supplement uses the following term

21、s defined elsewhere: 2.1.1 audit b-ISO/IEC 17000: Systematic, independent, documented process for obtaining records, statements of fact or other relevant information and assessing them objectively to determine the extent to which specified requirements are fulfilled. 2.1.2 component b-SBC, 2011: Ele

22、ment with electrical or electronic functionality connected together with other components, usually by soldering to a printed wiring board, to create an electronic circuit with a particular function (for example, an amplifier, radio receiver or oscillator). 2.1.3 discarded b-StEP, 2014: It is the cri

23、tical point at which the potential nature of the item changes from a useful product to that of waste“. It does not include equipment which “can be directly re-used by someone else for the same purpose for which the product was originally designed b-StEP, 2014. 2.1.4 electrical and electronic equipme

24、nt (EEE) b-EU, 2012/19/EU: Equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work properly and equipment for the generation, transfer and measurement of such currents and fields and designed for use with a voltage rating not exceeding 1000 volts for alternating

25、current and 1500 volts for direct current. 2.1.5 disposal b-StEP, 2014: Material that cannot be recycled into raw material for use in manufacture of new EEE or other products would need to be disposed of using other methods, such as energy recovery or landfill. 2.1.6 distributor b-EU, 2012/19/EU: An

26、y natural or legal person in the supply chain, who makes an EEE available on the market. A distributor may also be a producer. 2.1.7 formal sector b-PMID: Represents the e-waste that is regulated by environmental protection laws specifically designed for e-waste. 2.1.8 gate fees b-Chalmin: The “exch

27、ange value“ associated to waste electrical and electronic equipment. It identifies the monetary flow from collection or treatment facilities operators to producer compliance schemes when the e-waste value is higher than management costs, e.g., recovery, recycling, re-use. The inverse money transfer

28、takes place when e-waste management activities generate a net cost for the facility. Some of the factors that concur to determine the gate fee are the potential energy generated, the presence of recoverable materials and the ratio between secondary and primary raw materials price. 2.1.9 generation (

29、of WEEE) b-UNU, 2014: The weight of discarded products (waste) due to national consumption from a national territory in a given reporting year prior any activity (collection, reuse, treatment or export). 2 L series Supplement 4 (12/2014) 2.1.10 illegal traffic b-Basel: Any trans-boundary movement of

30、 hazardous wastes or other wastes that has not been notified nor received consent, or whose consent has been obtained “through falsification, misrepresentation or fraud“; whose content “does not conform in a material way with the documents“ or “that results in deliberate disposal“ (b-Basel, article

31、9). 2.1.11 lifetime (or residence time) of electrical and electronic equipment b-PMID: The time the equipment spends at household, businesses and the public sector is called the lifetime or residence time. This includes the exchange of second hand equipment among and between households, and business

32、es. 2.1.12 orphan waste b-Hester: Products deposited for recycling that are the responsibility of a company that is either no longer present in the market or has not paid for its recycling. 2.1.13 put-on-the-market b-EU, 2012/19/EU: First making available of a product on the market within the territ

33、ory of a State on a professional basis. 2.1.14 producer b-EU, 2012/19/EU: any natural or legal person, established in a state, who manufactures or markets or resells EEE under his own name or trademark; places on the market of that state, on a professional basis, EEE from a third country or from ano

34、ther state; or sells EEE by means of distance communication directly to private households or to users other than private households in a state, and is established in another state or in a third country. 2.1.15 recovery b-EU, 2012/19/EU: Any operation the principal result of which is waste serving a

35、 useful purpose by replacing other materials that would otherwise have been used to fulfill a particular function, or waste being prepared to fulfill that function, in the plant or in the wider economy. 2.1.16 recycling b-EU, 2012/19/EU: Any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocesse

36、d into products or materials whether for the original or other purposes. It includes the reprocessing of organic material but does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or for back-filling operations. 2.1.17 re-use b-StEP, 2012a: Re-use of elect

37、rical and electronic equipment or its components is to continue to use of it (for the same purpose for which it was conceived beyond the point at which its specifications fail to meet the requirements of the current owner and the owner has ceased use of the product. 2.1.18 treatment b-EU, 2012/19/EU

38、: Recovery or disposal operations, including preparation prior to recovery or disposal. 2.1.19 used electrical and electronic equipment b-StEP 2014: Any electrical and electronic equipment that is discarded by the owner as waste with the intention of re-use “for the same purpose for which it was con

39、ceived beyond the point at which its specifications fail to meet the requirements of the current owner and the owner has ceased use of the product. Products could be donated or traded before or in this phase“. 2.1.20 waste electrical and electronic equipment: “Electrical or electronic equipment whic

40、h is “Any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard“ b-EU, 2008/98/EC, “including all components, sub-assemblies and consumables which are part of the product at the time of discarding“ b-EU, 2012/19/EU. 2.2 Terms defined in this Supplement This Supplement de

41、fines the following terms: 2.2.1 exporter of WEEE: Any person under the jurisdiction of the state of export who arranges for waste electrical and electronic equipment to be exported.

46、ention of policy makers to one of the main environmental problems and economic opportunity of our time: the generation of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Manifold are the reasons why countries should establish or reinforce their e-waste management national systems. According to the

47、 European Union WEEE directive, the appropriate management of WEEE is paramount due to the presence of hazardous substances, such as “mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and ozone-depleting substances“ b-EU, 2012/19/EU. Consequently, if not treated properly,

48、 WEEE could have significant environmental, economic, and social negative effects. It has been observed, for instance, that improper management of e-waste can have severe effects on the human health, causing allergies, respiratory diseases and cancer b-Puckett. Furthermore, leaching, open air burnin

49、g and heating, as well as the uncontrolled discharge of scrap, acids, cyanides and other by-products from processing operations pollute the soil, groundwater and food b-Terazono. On the contrary, the effective recycling of e-waste has a direct positive impact on the environment, economy and society. Prevention is paramount as 20-50 million tonnes of e-waste is generated globally each year b-UNEP, 2013a. E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the wo
