Rejection Criteria

Conditions and thresholds that trigger immediate rejection or downgrading.

Mercury switch rupture or spillage

Threshold

Mercury leaked; environmental contamination; hazmat spill CATASTROPHIC extreme

Action

Immediate Full Rejection And Emergency Hazmat Protocol
Mercury Spill Response Activation
Environmental Contamination Mitigation Urgent

Reason

Hazmat Violation Catastrophic Extreme: Mercury Environmental Contamination Permanent Toxic Bioaccumulative
Occupational Exposure Critical Catastrophic
Occupational Emergency Response Mandatory

Test Method

Visual Spillage Assessment
Mercury Containment Verification

Severity

ABSOLUTE CRITICAL - SAFETY VIOLATION CATASTROPHIC EXTREME - EMERGENCY HAZMAT PROTOCOL MANDATORY

Consequence:

Full Rejection With Emergency Hazmat Protocol Activation
Material Unsuitable For Standard Processing
Environmental Remediation Urgent Mandatory

Switch rupture with mercury contained

Threshold

Switch case cracked but mercury NOT leaked; rupture imminent; spillage risk EXTREME

Action

FULL REJECTION or emergency containment protocol MANDATORY

Reason

Critical Hazmat: Rupture Hazard Extreme
Spillage Imminent Risk
Transport Danger Severe

Test Method

Visual Rupture Assessment
Pressure Integrity Evaluation

Severity

CRITICAL - RUPTURE HAZARD EXTREME - SAFETY PROTOCOL MANDATORY

Consequence:

Full Rejection Or Emergency Containment
Unsuitable For Standard Transport
Hazmat Protocols

Unknown mercury content or hazmat status

Threshold

Mercury status uncertain; disposal cost unpredictable; hazmat risk UNQUANTIFIED extreme

Action

Full rejection pending absolute mercury confirmation

Reason

Critical Failure: Hazmat Uncertainty Unacceptable Extreme
Disposal Cost Unpredictable
Processing Risk Extreme

Test Method

Mercury content verification absolutely required

Severity

CRITICAL - HAZMAT UNCERTAINTY EXTREME

Consequence:

Full Rejection Until Mercury Status Definitively Confirmed
Likely Rejection If Mercury Unverifiable

Mixed mercury/non-mercury switches without separation

Threshold

Mercury and non-mercury switches commingled; separation difficult; batch contamination

Action

Full rejection or complete separation MANDATORY

Reason

Hazmat: Contamination Risk Extreme
Batch Processing Hazard Severe

Test Method

Switch Type Verification
Hazmat Classification

Severity

CRITICAL - CONTAMINATION HAZARD EXTREME

Consequence:

Full Rejection Or Mandatory Complete Separation
Unsuitable For Mixed Hazmat Processing

Incorrect switch type or non-mercury switches present

Threshold

Switch type not mercury-containing; hazmat status FALSE; material misidentified

Action

Full Rejection
Material Misidentification

Reason

Material Wrong
Not Mercury Switches
Hazmat Status Misrepresented

Test Method

Switch Type Identification
Hazmat Classification Verification

Severity

CRITICAL - MATERIAL MISIDENTIFICATION

Consequence:

Full Rejection
Unsuitable For Mercury Hazmat Processing
