Annex VII DESTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 22(1)

United Kingdom

Applicability
Controlled substances not listed below shall be destroyed by the most environmentally acceptable destruction technology not entailing excessive costs.
Concentrated sources refer to virgin, recovered and reclaimed ozone-depleting substances.
Dilute sources refer to ozone-depleting substances contained in a matrix of a solid, for example foam.
The DRE criterion presents technology capability on which approval of the technology is based. It does not always reflect the day-to-day performance achieved, which in itself will be controlled by national minimum standards.
Approved by the Parties.
