Rejection Criteria

Conditions and thresholds that trigger immediate rejection or downgrading.

Not industrial-grade or gold plating insufficient
Threshold

Consumer electronics board identified OR gold <0.03g per board

Action

Full rejection or reclassification to consumer grade

Reason
  • Material Not Industrial Specification
  • Insufficient Precious Metal
  • Class 1-B Status Not Met
Test Method
  • Visual Industrial Assessment
  • Xrf Gold Verification
Severity

CRITICAL - SPECIFICATION FAILURE

Consequence:

Full rejection or downgrading to lower-value scrap

Severe mercury contamination or mercury components
Threshold

Mercury >0.001% CONFIRMED OR mercury components visible (switches/relays)

Action
  • Immediate Full Rejection
  • Hazmat Emergency Protocol Mandatory
Reason
  • Hazmat Extreme: Mercury Exceeds Rohs Limit Catastrophic
  • Processing Safety Risk Extreme
  • Occupational Health Violation Severe
Test Method
  • Icp-Aes Ultra-Sensitive Mercury Verification
  • Visual Component Inspection
Severity

ABSOLUTE CRITICAL - OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD EXTREME

Consequence:
  • Full Rejection
  • Material Unsuitable For Standard Industrial E-Waste Processing
  • Hazmat Emergency Response Mandatory
Batteries attached or active hazmat components
Threshold

Battery, power cell, mercury switch, or other active hazmat component attached/integral

Action
  • Immediate Full Rejection
  • Hazmat Emergency Protocol Mandatory
Reason
  • Active Hazmat Component
  • Processing Safety Risk Extreme
  • Occupational Health Violation
Test Method
  • Visual Component Inspection
  • Hazmat Identification
Severity

CRITICAL - OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD EXTREME

Consequence:
  • Full Rejection
  • Hazmat Protocol Activation Mandatory
  • Specialized Disposal Required
Severely degraded or non-recoverable
Threshold

Corrosion extensive >50%, components destroyed, structural integrity compromised, precious metal loss catastrophic

Action

Full rejection or severe downgrading

Reason
  • Industrial Degradation Extreme
  • Precious Metal Loss Unacceptable
  • Processing Not Economical
Test Method
  • Visual Integrity Assessment
  • Trace Continuity Evaluation
  • Precious Metal Visibility
Severity

CRITICAL - MATERIAL INTEGRITY FAILURE

Consequence:
  • Full Rejection Or Catastrophic Downgrading
  • Material Unsuitable For Premium Industrial Market
Unknown composition or equipment source
Threshold

Action
  • Full Rejection Pending Investigation
  • Quarantine Mandatory
Reason
  • Industrial Uncertainty Unacceptable Extreme
  • Equipment Source Unconfirmed
  • Hazmat Risk Unquantified
  • Processing Safety Uncertain
  • Class 1-B Authentication Failed
Test Method
  • Comprehensive Industrial Assessment
  • Equipment Type Verification
  • Hazmat Profiling
Severity

CRITICAL - AUTHENTICITY & HAZMAT FAILURE EXTREME

Consequence:
  • Full Rejection Until Industrial Status Definitively Confirmed
  • Likely Rejection If Industrial Authentication Fails
  • Hazmat Investigation Required If Uncertainty
Hazmat composition EXTREME or unquantifiable
Threshold

Lead >80g per board likely OR hazmat profile completely indeterminate OR multiple hazmat elements present at high levels

Action

FULL REJECTION or conditional acceptance pending detailed hazmat analysis MANDATORY

Reason
  • Hazmat Complexity Unacceptable Extreme
