Rejection Criteria
Conditions and thresholds that trigger immediate rejection or downgrading.
Lead content insufficient
Threshold
Lead <50%
Action
FULL REJECTION or reclassification to lower-grade mixed lead scrap
Reason
- Lead Content Below Wheel Weight Specification
- Not Wheel Weight Classification
Test Method
- Xrf Spectrometry
- Fire Assay
Severity
CRITICAL - SPECIFICATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
- Wheel Weight Specification Violated
- Significant Value Loss
Steel contamination excessive
Threshold
Steel >50% OR predominantly ferrous
Action
FULL REJECTION or reclassification to mixed lead/ferrous scrap
Reason
- Steel Exceeds Acceptable Clip Component Ratio
- Not Wheel Weight Specification
Test Method
- Magnetic Separation Test
- Xrf Analysis
Severity
CRITICAL - SPECIFICATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
- Lead Dominance Specification Violated
Cadmium contamination excessive
Threshold
Cadmium >0.01% ppm-level (legacy equipment hazmat EXTREME)
Action
- Immediate Full Rejection
- Hazmat Emergency Protocol Mandatory Extreme
Reason
- Hazmat Violation Extreme Critical: Cadmium Exceeds Ppm-Level Extreme Dangerous
- Occupational Exposure Risk Catastrophic Extreme
- Legacy Weight Equipment Hazmat Concern Vintage Material
Test Method
- Icp-Aes Ppm-Level Ultra-Sensitive Quantification
- Xrf Confirmation
Severity
ABSOLUTE CRITICAL - HAZMAT VIOLATION EXTREME PPM-LEVEL LEGACY - OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY CRISIS EXTREME - ZERO TOLERANCE CATASTROPHIC
Consequence:
- Immediate Full Rejection With Emergency Hazmat Response Extreme
- Occupational Health Crisis Protocol Immediate
- Hazmat Disposal Mandatory Seller Expense Catastrophic
- Facility Contamination Risk Extreme
