OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORISED

TREATMENT FACILITIES

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 The Waste Management (End-of-Life Vehicles) Regulations 2006, which came into effect

on 8 June 2006, which were superceded by the European Union (End of Life) Regulations

2014, provide the framework for the implementation in Ireland of Directive 2000/53/EC

on end-of-life vehicles. Under the Regulations, obligations are imposed on authorised

treatment facilities, local authorities, vehicle owners and vehicle producers (i.e.

manufacturers and professional importers) in relation to the environmentally sound

collection, storage, treatment, dismantling, reuse, recovery, recycling and disposal of end-

of-life vehicles.

1.2 To assist in minimising the risk of environmental pollution associated with the treatment

of end-of-life vehicles, an obligation is imposed on the registered owner of a vehicle that

is an end-of-life vehicle to dispose of that vehicle at an authorised treatment facility for

appropriate treatment and recovery. An authorised treatment facility is defined as a

facility at which the collection and storage and appropriate treatment and recovery of

end-of-life vehicles may take place. The Regulations further stipulate that such facilities

operate under a waste permit (or a waste licence) and in accordance with the minimum

technical requirements set out in the Second Schedule of the Regulations on and from 1st

January 2007.

1.3 From 1st January 2007 onwards, there is a further requirement that the owner or operator

of an authorised treatment facility shall issue a Certificate of Destruction to the registered

owner, an authorised person of a local authority or a member of an Garda Síochána on the

deposit of an end-of-life vehicle at that facility for appropriate treatment and recovery and

all relevant information relating to that Certificate of Destruction shall be noted on the

National Vehicle File. Under the regulations, only an authorised treatment facility may

issue Certificates of Destruction.

1.4 A Certificate of Destruction may only issue in respect of end-of-life vehicles of the

following vehicle type –

- motor vehicles having at least four wheels (or having three wheels when the

maximum weight exceeds 1 metric ton), used for the carriage of passengers and

comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat (i.e. Category M1

type approval);

- motor vehicles having at least four wheels (or having three wheels when the

maximum weight exceeds 1 metric ton), used for the carriage of goods and having a

maximum weight not exceeding 3.75 metric tons (i.e. Category N1 type approval).

For Ins

Typically, this means that passenger cars and light commercial vehicles will require a

Certificate of Destruction when deposited at authorised treatment facilities for appropriate

treatment and recovery. While an authorised treatment facility may accept vehicle types

other than the above (subject to the scope of the facility’s waste permit), a Certificate of

Destruction shall not issue in respect of any vehicle which does not fall into either

category M1 or category N1 vehicle types (e.g. motorcycles, buses, special purpose

vehicles, HGVs etc).

1.5 This document lays down the broad parameters under which an authorised treatment

facility may issue a Certificate of Destruction, the documentation required from the

person presenting the end-of-life vehicle and how such associated records are to be

compiled, maintained and reported by the authorised treatment facility concerned.

2. REQUISITION OF CERTIFICATES OF DESTRUCTION

2.1 PAUL LONG, shall only obtain manual Certificates of Destruction from Limerick City

& County Council if the facility holds a waste permit or the EPA if the facility holds a

waste license] on foot of a written request to Limerick City & County Council from the

authorised treatment facility operator. _PAUL LONG, shall specify the amount of

Certificates of Destruction required in increments of 50 blank certificates.

2.2 Manual Certificates of Destruction shall issue from Limerick City & County Council to

_PAUL LONG, in booklets of 50 blank certificates (each in triplicate as outlined below in

paragraph 2.4).

2.3 Limerick City & County Council shall issue manual Certificates of Destruction to

_PAUL LONG, no later than 10 working days from the receipt of such a written request.

2.4 Each manual Certificate of Destruction shall contain its own unique serial (COD) number

and will also comprise of three identical pages - a green copy for the registered owner, a

yellow copy for the authorised treatment facility and the final white copy for the National

Vehicle File.

2.5 No charge shall be imposed by Limerick City & County Council on PAUL LONG, for

manual Certificates of Destruction.

2.6 Limerick City & County Council shall keep a record of the serial numbers on the

Certificates of Destruction that issue to PAUL LONG,. Similar records will be kept on

serial numbers for Certificates of Destruction issuing to other authorised treatment

facilities operating within the functional area of Limerick City & County Council.

3. ISSUE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION

3.1 When an end-of-life vehicle is accepted at __PAUL LONG, WFP/L/2017/16C/R1 a

manual Certificate of Destruction shall only be issued in the name of -
