Rejection Criteria
Conditions and thresholds that trigger immediate rejection or downgrading.
Active acid leakage or extreme acid hazmat
Threshold
Battery actively leaking acid OR acid contamination extreme/uncontainable
Action
- Full Rejection
- Hazmat Remediation Protocol Mandatory
Reason
- Hazmat Critical Extreme: Acid Leakage Occupational Health Hazard Severe
- Environmental Contamination Extreme
- Transportation Safety Compromised
- Standard Processing Not Viable
Test Method
- Visual Acid Leakage Detection
- Ph Assessment
- Acid Volume Quantification
Severity
ABSOLUTE CRITICAL - HAZMAT VIOLATION EXTREME - ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
- Material Unsuitable For Standard Recycling
- Hazmat Emergency Protocol
- Specialized Disposal Required
Non-battery lead or contamination mixed in
Threshold
Lead scrap other than battery detected; foreign material contamination obvious
Action
Full rejection or segregation required
Reason
- Contamination
- Material Misclassification
- Lead Type Uncertain
- Hazmat Uncertainty
Test Method
- Visual Inspection
- Material Identification
Severity
CRITICAL - SPECIFICATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection Or Mandatory Segregation
- Material Unsuitable For Battery Recycling Stream
Unknown battery type or hazmat status
Threshold
Battery source unidentified; lead/acid status uncertain; battery type unclear
Action
- Quarantine Pending Investigation
- Rejection Likely
Reason
- Safety Risk Unquantified Extreme
- Hazmat Status Unknown
- Occupational Safety Concern Severe
- Processing Protocol Unclear
Test Method
- Battery Investigation
- Type Identification
- Hazmat Verification
Severity
CRITICAL - SAFETY UNCERTAINTY UNACCEPTABLE
Consequence:
- Quarantine Or Full Rejection
- Material Unsuitable For Processing Without Hazmat Verification
Extreme contamination or environmental damage
Threshold
Acid spill extreme; environmental hazard; cleanup cost prohibitive; contamination extreme
Action
Full rejection or hazmat emergency protocol
Reason
- Environmental Hazard Extreme
- Cleanup Cost Not Economical
- Processing Not Viable
- Hazmat Emergency Level
Test Method
- Visual Assessment
- Contamination Quantification
- Environmental Impact Assessment
Severity
CRITICAL - ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD EXTREME
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
