GB 13015-2017standard for pollution control on Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)-contaminated wastes (English PDF)

Foreword

To implement laws and regulations such as "Environment Protection Law of the People's

Republic of China" and "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and

Control of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Wastes", to strengthen the

environmental supervision and management of the PCBs-contaminated wastes, to

regulate the cleaning, storage, transportation and disposal processes of the

Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes, this Standard is formulated.

This Standard specifies the entire process' environmental protection requirements of the

Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes, such as the process of cleaning,

collection, packaging, transportation, temporary storage, storage and harmless treatment

disposal.

This Standard was first published in 1991.This is the first revision.

The main contents of this revision are as follows.

- Redefine the PCBs-contaminated wastes;

- Add the category regulation of the Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes, as

well as the requirements for cleaning, packaging, harmless treatment disposal,

environmental monitoring, safety protection and emergency response;

- Add the technical requirements for the pollution control on co-processing of

Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes in cement kiln;

- Update the monitoring analysis methods for the Polychlorinated Biphenyls-

contaminated wastes.

Since the date of implementation of this Standard, the "Control standard on poly

chlorinated biphenyls for waste slags " (GB 13015-91) shall be abolished.

This Standard was formulated by the Department of Soil Environment Management and

the Department of Science, Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Environmental

Protection of the PRC.

The main drafting organizations of this Standard. Chinese Research Academy of

Environmental Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Shenyang Academy of Environmental

Sciences, Tsinghua University AND the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office of the

Ministry of Environmental Protection.

This Standard was approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection on May 27, 2017.

This Standard is implemented as of October 1, 2017.

Standard for pollution control on Polychlorinated

Biphenyls(PCBs)-contaminated wastes

1 Scope of application

This Standard specifies the categories of Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes,

as well as the entire process' environmental protection requirements of the Polychlorinated

Biphenyls-contaminated wastes, such as the process of cleaning, collection, packaging,

transportation, temporary storage, storage and harmless treatment disposal.

This Standard is applicable to the pollution control and supervision & management of the

entire process of classification, harmless management and harmless disposal of

Polychlorinated Biphenyls-contaminated wastes.

For the wastes whose content of Polychlorinated Biphenyls is less than 50mg/kg, they shall

be performed the harmless management according to general industrial solid wastes.

4 Categories of PCBs-contaminated wastes

The PCBs-contaminated wastes include the following seven categories.

I. The PCBs-containing equipment not in service, or the sealed PCBs-containing

equipment;

II. Liquid Polychlorinated Biphenyls or the non-aqueous liquid wastes containing the

Polychlorinated Biphenyls;

III. The immersion wastewater at sealed point of the PCBs-contaminated wastes, and

other cleaning wastewater;

IV. PCBs-contaminated soil which is performed by the ectopic and harmless disposal;

V. The original package when sealing the PCBs-containing equipment;

VI. The original building materials when sealing the PCBs-containing equipment, such

as the cement, rock, slag and brick;

VII. Other wastes, substances and articles, which contains or are contaminated with the

Polychlorinated Biphenyls, such as rags, absorbent materials, contaminated

protective clothing and gloves.

5 Technical requirements for the harmless

management of the PCBs-contaminated wastes

6 Pollution control requirements for the harmless

disposal of PCBs-contaminated wastes

7 Environmental monitoring requirements during the

harmless disposal of PCBs-contaminated wastes
