# Commission Implementing Decision of 26 March 2013 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for the production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide (notified under document C(2013) 1728) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/163/EU), Division 11

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In order to guarantee the characteristics of the wastes to be used as fuels and/or raw materials in a cement kiln and reduce emissions, BAT is to apply the following techniques:
Technique
a
Apply quality assurance systems to guarantee the characteristics of wastes and to analyse any waste that is to be used as raw material and/or fuel in a cement kiln for:
I.. constant quality
II.. physical criteria, e.g. emissions formation, coarseness, reactivity, burnability, calorific value
III.. chemical criteria, e.g. chlorine, sulphur, alkali and phosphate content and relevant metals content
b
Control the amount of relevant parameters for any waste that is to be used as raw material and/or fuel in a cement kiln, such as chlorine, relevant metals (e.g. cadmium, mercury, thallium), sulphur, total halogen content
c
Apply quality assurance systems for each waste load
