Commitments of Commercial Users

A Commercial User is to meet the following commitments to the FluoroCycle scheme:

• have a requirement in relevant contracts for all waste mercury-containing lamps to be recycled  
• adhere to the Signatory commitments set out in these Guidelines and the Signatory Guide to FluoroCycle Branding
• cooperate with surveys that are undertaken from time to time, and with random or risk-based audits, as instigated by the Administrator, and
• provide accurate, annual statements (using the template) that self certify compliance with the commitments that apply to Commercial Users, the first annual statement being due 12 months from the date on which Signatory status was awarded.

 

Section 4.4 of the FluoroCycle Guidelines relates to audit requirements and states:

As one of their commitments, Signatories are required to cooperate with audits that will be undertaken in reasonable business hours and after reasonable notice.
The Administrator may undertake random or risk based audits of the activities of Signatories to ensure compliance with commitments to FluoroCycle. This means that, in any one year, a subset of Signatories are likely to be audited. An audit also includes an assessment of adherence with these Guidelines and the Signatory Guide to FluoroCycle Branding.
