This standard is formulated for the purpose of implementing the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and Law of the People's Republic of China on Promotion of Cleaner Production, protecting the environment, and providing technical supports and guidelines for the lead electro-refining industry to conduct cleaner production. This standard provides the general requirements for the lead electro-refining enterprises to conduct cleaner production on the basis of meeting national and local emission standards and in line with the existing industrial, equipment and managerial levels of this industry. This standard includes three levels, the first level represents the international advanced level of cleaner production, the second represents domestic advanced level of cleaner production, and the third represents domestic basic level of cleaner production. This standard shall be amended at a proper timing with the technological development. This standard provides the general requirements for cleaner production of the lead electro-refining industry. This standard classifies the indicators for cleaner production into five kinds, that is, requirements for production techniques and equipment, indicator for the use of resources and energy, product indicator, pollutant indicator (prior to the end-of-pipe treatment), and environmental management requirements. This standard is applicable to the assessment of cleaner production of lead electro-refining enterprises, the estimation of the potential and chance of cleaner production, the performance assessment of cleaner production and the performance disclosure system for cleaner production, as well as environmental management systems like environmental impact assessment and pollutant discharge permit. This standard is the first version.
