UV Source Lamps Disposal
AMETEK recommends that all UV lamps – whether they are new, used, or damaged in any way
– need to be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
Most UV lamps do not contain restricted substances listed under the European RoHS 2 direc-
tive. However, special handling requirements are required for some lamps if they are broken.
Two examples include Cadmium and Beryllium lamps. Refer to a current Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) for handling any lamp where the glass envelope has been broken and which has
exposed the metal cathode in the centre of the lamp.
