C14.2.10. PCB Article Container. Any package, can, bottle, bag, barrel, drum, tank, or<br />
other device used to contain PCB articles or PCB equipment, and whose surface(s) has not been<br />
in direct contact with PCBs.<br />
C14.2.11. PCB Container. Any package, can, bottle, bag, barrel, drum, tank, or other device<br />
that contains PCBs or PCB articles, and whose surface(s) has been in direct contact with PCBs.<br />
C14.2.12. PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment. Any electrical equipment including,<br />
but not limited to, transformers, capacitors, circuit breakers, reclosers, voltage regulators,<br />
switches, electromagnets, and cable that contain ≥ 50 ppm PCB, but < 500 ppm PCB.<br />
C14.2.13. PCB Equipment. Any manufactured item, other than a PCB container or a PCB<br />
article container, which contains a PCB article or other PCB equipment, and includes microwave<br />
ovens, electronic equipment, and fluorescent light ballasts and fixtures.<br />
C14.2.14. PCB Item. Any PCB article, PCB article container, PCB container, or PCB<br />
equipment that deliberately or unintentionally contains or has as a part of it any PCB, or PCBs at<br />
a concentration ≥ 50 ppm.<br />
C14.2.15. PCB Transformer. Any transformer that contains ≥ 50 ppm PCB.<br />
C14.2.16. Substantial Contact Area. An area that is subject to public access on a routine<br />
basis or which could result in substantial dermal contact by employees.<br />
C14.2.17. PCBs. The term includes any combination of the following:<br />
C14.2.17.1. polychlorinated biphenyls<br />
C14.2.17.2. polychlorinated triphenyls (PCTs)<br />
C14.2.17.3. monomethyltetrachlorodiphenyl methane<br />
C14.2.17.4. monomethlydichlorodiphenyl methane<br />
C14.2.17.5. monomethyldibromodiphenyl methane<br />
C14.3. CRITERIA<br />
C14.3.1. General. The use of PCB items, except for existing transformers containing < 500<br />
ppm of PCB, is prohibited. Use of transformers with < 500 ppm of PCB is allowed until the end<br />
of their lifetime<br />
C14.3.1.1. Labeling<br />
C14.3.1.1.1. All PCB items (including capacitors) containing more than 5 cubic<br />
decimeters (dm 3 ) (5 liters or 1.32 gallons) of PCBs by volume, as well as items containing fluids<br />
with a PCB concentration > 50 ppm, shall be prominently labeled in English and Italian. This<br />
marking criterion also applies to transformers, rooms, vaults, and storage areas containing PCB<br />
