fluorocarbons or volatile hydrocarbons after they have been discarded as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) The methodologies for the inspection of the performance of treatment systems for household refrigerators and freezers in step treatment was developed in the early 1990s The methodologies used for performance tests since then have been created to evaluate the efficiency of treatment plants designed to recover VFCs from insulating foam The evaluation criteria used for performance testing are based on the VFC content of household refrigerators and freezers that were produced in the 1970s and 1980s The increasing appearance on the recycling market of appliances with VFC-free insulation (foamed with VHC) has had a strong impact on the general framework conditions for performance testing over the last few years In the early 1990s the quantity of R11 (a VFC) was reduced by approximately 50 % R11 was then largely phased out in favour of VHCs in the early 2000s Consequently the expected values from step treatment that had been achieved in the 1990s are no longer applicable for the appliances that are recycled today Nowadays more and more VFC-free appliances and appliances containing reduced quantities of VFC come back for recycling The WEEE within the scope of this standard could contain substances that if released untreated to the atmosphere could contribute to ozone depletion or global warming The substances may be present in the refrigerating system and in insulating foam This standard seeks to reduce the environmental impact caused by such WEEE by defining requirements covering sorting, transportation, handling and treatment It covers how substances with a high global warming potential and/or ozone depletion potential are removed from WEEE and subsequently treated so as to significantly reduce environmental impacts By addressing the above issues this standard supports the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC –5– –5– Scope BS EN EN50574-1:2012

50574:2012 Annex D (informative) Sorting requirements for heat pump tumble driers - Instructions for identifying tumble dryers containing fluorinated refrigerants D.1 Introduction The objective of this annex is to help ensure that tumble dryers with heat pump technology are treated in accordance with legislation when recycled Tumble dryers with heat pump technology have been on the market since 1995 They contain hydrofluorocarbons which have a high global warming potential According to EC Regulation 842/2006 (the F-gas Regulation) and Directive 2002/96/EC (the WEEE Directive), VFCs have to be removed when recycling appliances Special treatment plants are required to recycle appliances containing VFCs; such as cooling and freezing appliances, air conditioners or heat pump tumble driers To achieve the right treatment for heat pump tumble dryers with VFCs it is therefore necessary to ensure identification and correct sorting of these appliances The following procedure should be used to facilitate this identification D.2 D.2.1 Identification of heat pump tumble dryers with VFC Marking according to the F-gas regulation The most reliable way of identifying a heat pump tumble dryer with VFC is to look for a label containing information required by the F-gases regulation This information could be on a separate label or it could be located on the main rating plate (containing voltage ratings, etc) The information is usually printed on a separate label, placed on the back of the machine – see pictures – with a text declaring that the appliance contains fluorinated gases that are covered by the Kyoto protocol Examples of F-gas labels with different appearance depending on the brand as shown below: BS EN 50574-1:2012 BS EN 50574:2012 EN 50574:2012 – 35 – – 35 – Figure D.1 EN 50574:2012 Figure D.2 However not all heat pump tumble dryers with HFC have such a label but can instead be identified by their rating plates where type and amount of cooling agent is stated Figure D.3 Example of rating plate with F-gas information D.2.2 Other ways of identification All heat pump tumble dryers have a compressor and a heat exchanger In most brands the heat exchanger can be seen when opening the service cover in the front socket On many brands there is an opening in the underside through which the compressor is partly visible BS EN 50574-1:2012 EN 50574:2012 – 36 – EN

No R134a or other VFC mentioned on the rating plate? Yes Yes It is a HP TD Figure D.4 No Contains compressor and heat exchanger?
