Appendix II - WFP/L/2016/21B/R3

CERTIFICATES OF DESTRUCTION

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORISED

TREATMENT FACILITIES

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 The European Union (End of Life Vehicles) Regulations – S.I. No. 281 of 2014,

which came into effect on 21st June 2014, provide the framework for the

implementation in Ireland of Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles.

Under the Regulations, obligations are imposed on authorised treatment

facilities, local authorities, vehicle owners and vehicle producers (i.e.

manufacturers and professional importers) in relation to the environmentally

sound collection, storage, treatment, dismantling, reuse, recovery, recycling and

disposal of end-of-life vehicles.

1.2 To assist in minimising the risk of environmental pollution associated with the

treatment of end-of-life vehicles, an obligation is imposed on the registered

owner of a vehicle that is an end-of-life vehicle to dispose of that vehicle at an

authorised treatment facility for appropriate treatment and recovery. An

authorised treatment facility is defined as a facility at which the collection and

storage and appropriate treatment and recovery of end-of-life vehicles may take

place. The Regulations further stipulate that such facilities operate under a

waste permit (or a waste licence) and in accordance with the minimum technical

requirements set out in the Second Schedule of the Regulations on and from 1st

January 2007.

1.3 From 1st January 2007 onwards, there is a further requirement that the owner or

operator of an authorised treatment facility shall issue a Certificate of

Destruction to the registered owner, an authorised person of a local authority or

a member of an Garda Síochána on the deposit of an end-of-life vehicle at that

facility for appropriate treatment and recovery and all relevant information

relating to that Certificate of Destruction shall be noted on the National Vehicle

File. Under S.I. No. 281 of 2014, only an authorised treatment facility may

issue Certificates of Destruction.

1.4 A Certificate of Destruction may only issue in respect of end-of-life vehicles of

the following vehicle type –

- motor vehicles having at least four wheels (or having three wheels when the

maximum weight exceeds 1 metric ton), used for the carriage of passengers

and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat (i.e.

Category M1 type approval);

- motor vehicles having at least four wheels (or having three wheels when the

maximum weight exceeds 1 metric ton), used for the carriage of goods and

having a maximum weight not exceeding 3.75 metric tons (i.e. Category N1

type approval).

Typically, this means that passenger cars and light commercial vehicles will

require a Certificate of Destruction when deposited at authorised treatment

facilities for appropriate treatment and recovery. While an authorised treatment

For Ins

pecti

urpos

es O

nly

29

facility may accept vehicle types other than the above (subject to the scope of

the facility’s waste permit), a Certificate of Destruction shall not issue in respect

of any vehicle which does not fall into either category M1 or category N1 vehicle

types (e.g. motorcycles, buses, special purpose vehicles, HGVs etc).

1.5 This document lays down the broad parameters under which an authorised

treatment facility may issue a Certificate of Destruction, the documentation

required from the person presenting the end-of-life vehicle and how such

associated records are to be compiled, maintained and reported by the authorised

treatment facility concerned.

2. REQUISITION OF CERTIFICATES OF DESTRUCTION

2.1 David O’Riordan shall only obtain manual Certificates of Destruction from

Limerick City and County Council if the facility holds a waste permit (or the

EPA if the facility holds a waste license) on foot of a written request to

Limerick City and County Council from the authorised treatment facility

operator. David O’Riordan shall specify the amount of Certificates of

Destruction required in increments of 50 blank certificates.

2.2 Manual Certificates of Destruction shall issue from Limerick City and County

Council to David O’Riordan, in booklets of 50 blank certificates (each in

triplicate as outlined below in paragraph 2.4).

2.3 Limerick City and County Council shall issue manual Certificates of

Destruction to David O’Riordan no later than 10 working days from the receipt

of such a written request.

2.4 Each manual Certificate of Destruction shall contain its own unique serial

(COD) number and will also comprise of three identical pages - a green copy

for the registered owner, a yellow copy for the authorised treatment facility and

the final white copy for the National Vehicle File.

2.5 No charge shall be imposed by Limerick City and County Council on David

O’Riordan for manual Certificates of Destruction.

2.6 Limerick City and County Council shall keep a record of the serial numbers on

the Certificates of Destruction that issue to David O’Riordan. Similar records

will be kept on serial numbers for Certificates of Destruction issuing to other

authorised treatment facilities operating within the functional area of Limerick

City and County Council.

3. ISSUE OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION

3.1 When an end-of-life vehicle is accepted at David O’Riordan’s premises, a

manual Certificate of Destruction shall only be issued in the name of

- the registered owner of the vehicle, or

- Limerick City and County Council in respect of the disposal by Limerick

City and County Council of an abandoned vehicle under section 71 of the

Waste Management Act 1996 (as amended), or

- An Garda Síochána where a vehicle is being disposed by the Garda Síochána

under section 41 of the Road Traffic Act 1994 and any regulations made

thereunder.

Subject to the provision of documentary evidence (e.g. letter of authorisation

from the registered owner, Limerick City and County Council or an Garda

Síochána), David O’Riordan may issue the Certificate of Destruction to a third

party acting on behalf of the registered owner, Limerick City and County

Council, or an Garda Síochána. The name of the third party will not be recorded

on the Certificate of Destruction - [David O’Riordan] shall keep a copy of the

letter of authorisation for inclusion in the records of the specific end-of-life

vehicle concerned.

3.2 David O’Riordan shall complete the top OWNER copy (green) of the

Certificate of Destruction in block capitals using black ink so that the

information is clearly reproduced on the middle FACILITY copy (yellow) and

the final NATIONAL VEHICLE FILE copy (white) beneath, taking care to

ensure that all three copies are clearly legible.

3.3 In completing Part 1 of the manual Certificate of Destruction, David O’Riordan

shall require the registered owner of the vehicle (or a third party acting on behalf

of the registered owner) to surrender either the vehicle registration certificate /

vehicle licensing certificate / vehicle log-book as appropriate. If the vehicle

licensing certificate / vehicle registration certificate / vehicle log-book has been

lost, stolen or destroyed, David O’Riordan shall notify the registered owner (or a

third party acting on behalf of the registered owner) that this situation must be

regularised (i.e. a new certificate / log-book must be obtained) with the Vehicle

Registration Unit in the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local

Government, Shannon, County Clare.

The requirement to surrender the vehicle’s vehicle registration certificate /

vehicle licensing certificate / vehicle log-book does not apply where Limerick

City and County Council is disposing of an abandoned vehicle under section 71

of the Waste Management Act, 1996 (as amended) nor where the Garda

Síochána are disposing of a vehicle under section 41 of the Road Traffic Act

1994. The textbox in the bottom right corner of Part 1 of the Certificate of

Destruction (i.e. If no, please elaborate) should be used to record either Section

71 of the Waste Management Act 1996 (as amended) or Section 41 of the Road

Traffic Act 1994 as appropriate for such cases.

Where such information is available the Waste Facility (David O’Riordan) shall

note the date of expiry of the motor taxation disk for inclusion in the records of

the specific end-of-life vehicle concerned.

3.4 Part 2 of the manual Certificate of Destruction shall be completed by the Waste

Facility (David O’Riordan) - The name and address of -

- the registered owner of the end-of-life vehicle, or as appropriate,

- LOCAL AUTHORITY e.g. Limerick City and County Council, or as

and accurate – a third party acting on behalf of the registered owner, Limerick

County Council or the Garda Síochána may also sign on their behalf.

A registered owner or a third party acting on his/her behalf shall be required to

provide suitable documentation (e.g. driver’s licence) to the Waste Facility

(David O’Riordan) to verify their identification when depositing an end-of-life

vehicle at the Waste Facility (David O’Riordan.). The declaration in Part 4 shall

be completed and signed by the Waste Facility (David O’Riordan) to certify that

the end-of-life vehicle will be destroyed in accordance with the requirements of

the European Union (End of Life Vehicles) Regulations 2014 and that the

bottom (white) copy shall be notified to the Vehicle Registration Unit in the

Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Shannon,

County Clare so that the destruction of the vehicle will be noted on the records

of the National Vehicle File.

3.5 On the completion of Parts 1 to 4 of the Certificate of Destruction, the Waste

Facility (David O’Riordan) shall record the date of issue in the space provided

issue, by way of surface mail, the bottom (white) copy for each end-of-life

vehicle treated at that facility to the Vehicle Registration Unit in the Department

of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Shannon, County Clare so

that the destruction of those vehicles will be noted on the records of the National

Vehicle File. On a month-to-month basis David O’Riordan shall keep a record
