Introduction to the AGFA CR Detectors, Plates and Cassettes
CR Plate
Regulations about waste disposal may differ from one country to another.
Please consult local regulations on the subject matter.
At the end of its life cycle, the CR Plate is considered as industrial waste in
most countries.
Consequently it is not allowed to dispose of it as household waste. We
recommend to have it hauled away by a licensed company.
When the CR Plate is disposed of through incineration, the nature of the
combustion products is dependent on the physical characteristics of the
burning process and on the degree of combustion, whereby different gases
can be generated, such as e.g. water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and small concentrations of organic and inorganic degradation products.

barium. Hazardous waste must be managed and trans-
ported in accordance with federal, state, and local regu-
lations. Please contact your local authorities for more
information.
