& Determining if Waste is Hazardous or Non- Hazardous

1. INTRODUCTION
This document replaces the 2015 version to reflect Council Regulation 2017/997 that brings
into effect new criteria for Hazardous Property 14 ‘Ecotoxic’ from 5 July 2018.
Correct classification is the foundation for ensuring that the collection, transportation,
storage and treatment of waste is carried out in a manner that provides protection for the
environment and human health and in compliance with legal requirements.
Waste classification is based on:
1. Commission Decision of 18 December 2014, amending Decision 2000/532/EC on
the list of waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European parliament and
of the Council (2014/955/EEC) [referred to hereafter as ‘The List of Waste (LoW)’]
2. Commission Regulation (EU) No 1357/2014 of 18 December 2014, replacing Annex
III to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste
and repealing certain Directives.
3. Council Regulation (EU) 2017/997 of 8 June 2017 amending Annex 111 to Directive
2008/98//EC of the European parliament and of the Council as regards the
hazardous property HP 14 ‘Ecotoxic’.
This waste classification system applies across the EU and is the basis for all national and
international waste reporting obligations. This document consolidates the Decision and
Regulations and provides guidance on how to follow them.
The Commission have produced a technical guidance on the classification of waste specifically
providing clarification and guidance on the correct interpretation and application of the
relevant EU legislation regarding the classification of waste. This technical guidance can be
accessed at the following location:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:C:2018:124:FULL&from=EN
The overall system is shown in the flow chart in section 1.2 below. There are two main
elements, as follows.

1.1 List of Waste ( LoW ) (Appendix 1)

The LoW provides a harmonised list for coding all waste. The different t ypes of
waste in the list are fully defined by the six- digit entr y for the waste including
the respective t wo - digit and four- digit chapter headings.
Waste can have one of the following three entr y t ypes:
\\ Non-hazardous
\\ Hazardous (marked with an asterisk)
\\ Mirror – either hazardous or non-hazardous.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 7(3) of Directive 2008/98/EC, if a waste has
a non-hazardous entry, it is non-hazardous without further assessment. If a waste has a
hazardous entry, it is hazardous without further assessment. If it has a mirror entry it must be
dealt with in accordance with section 1.2.
Where evidence exists to show that specific waste that appears on the LoW as hazardous
waste does not display any of the hazardous properties HP1–HP15 (Appendix 2, step 3.1 and
step 3.2) and/or Persistent Organic Pollutant’s (POPS), it may be considered as non-hazardous
waste in accordance with the provisions of Article 7(3) of Directive 2008/98/EC. The Member

State must notify the Commission of any such cases and shall provide the Commission with
all the necessary evidence. In light of notifications received, the list shall be reviewed to decide
on its adaptation.

1.2 Determining if waste is hazardous or non-hazardous (Appendix 2)

If the waste has a mirror entr y, it must be subject to fur ther assessment to
determine if it is hazardous or not. The necessar y steps are outlined in the
following flow char t and in Appendix 2.

Instruction for Using the List

The different types of waste in the list are fully defined by the six-digit code for the waste and
the respective two-digit and four-digit chapter headings. This implies that the following steps
should be taken to identify a waste in the list:
\\ Identify the source generating the waste in Chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20 and
identify the appropriate six-digit code of the waste (excluding codes ending with 99
in these chapters).
Note :

XX that a specific production unit may need to classify its activities in several
chapters. For instance, a car manufacturer may find its wastes listed in
Chapters 12 (wastes from shaping and surface treatment of metals), 11
(inorganic wastes containing metals from metal treatment and the coating of
metals) and 08 (waste from the use of coatings), depending on the different
process steps.
XX Separately collected packaging waste (including mixtures of different
packaging materials) shall be classified in 15 01, not in 20 01.
\\ If no appropriate waste code can be found in Chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20,
Chapters 13, 14 and 15 must be examined to identify the type of waste.
\\ If none of these waste codes apply, the waste must be identified according to
Chapter 16.
If the waste is not in Chapter 16 either, the 99 code (wastes not otherwise specified) must be
used in the section of the list corresponding to the activity identified in the first bullet point
above.

Step 3.2 Assessment of Hazardous Properties without Concentration Limits

Step 4 Assessment of Persistent Organic Pollutants

Step 5 List of Waste Entry

Background
Note down the possible List of Waste entries for the waste in question. This is based on any
existing knowledge of the waste in conjunction with reviewing the LoW chapters.

Step 1 – Waste Composition Details

Assessment is based on the concentration of the substances contained in the waste.
Classifications based on knowledge of the partial composition of the waste are permitted
only when all of the substances that could render the waste hazardous are identified and
quantified. Such evidence must be included in the classification report. For example, in
relation to contaminated soil, there may be knowledge from site history/events that the
contamination is limited to certain substances and the classification could be based on the
quantities of those substances in the soil.
In relation to metals, chemical analysis does not always identify the specific substance but
rather the individual anions and cations that it contains. The precise form of the metal that
is present needs to be identified (i.e. for example with zinc, whether it is Zinc chloride, Zinc
oxide or Zinc chromate). The producer must determine the actual substance that is present
and what, if any hazardous property is present, and the associated hazard statement. This
is done either by further analysis or by applying knowledge from the site history, process,
activity, etc. that generated the waste.
Where this cannot be done, the worst-case compound should be applied for each of the
identified hazardous substances. Where this approach results in a hazardous classification but
the waste may still be considered non-hazardous, property testing targeted at the hazardous
properties which resulted in the hazardous classification could be used to assess the waste
further. Otherwise the waste is classified as hazardous. Such evidence must be included in
the classification report.

The notes included in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/20082 are listed in Appendix 3.
These are only relevant to the hazardous waste assessment where they alter the classification
of the waste/preparation to which they relate. If necessary, ensure that these are considered
during the classification of the waste. They are:
\\ S.1.1.3.1 ‘Notes relating to the identification, classification and labelling of substances’
– Notes B, D, F, J, L, M, P, Q, R, and U.
\\ S.1.1.3.2 ‘Notes relating to the classification and labelling of mixtures’ – Notes 1, 2, 3
and 5.
Sampling and testing should be conducted in accordance with finalised European Committee
for Standardisation (CEN) standards and where these are not available, national standards
or procedures or draft CEN standards which have reached the prEN stage – refer to:
\\ European Committee for Standardisation CEN website http://www.cen.eu/cen/pages/

See Appendix 4 for a list of the waste sampling and testing framework standards.
Laboratory reports should be included in classification reports. You should clearly indicate the
test methods used in column 4 of the Step 1 & 2 spreadsheet.

Regulation [EC] No 1907/2006. [Referred to as the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances Regulation; Note there
are a significant number of amendments to this regulation [Adaptations to Technical Progress] as per the Eurolex website.]

35
Environmental Protection Agency | Determining if waste is hazardous or non-hazardous

Step 2 – Assign Hazard Statements 3 and Associated Hazardous

Properties
Hazard Statement Codes are linked to a hazard class that relates back Hazardous Properties
as laid out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1357/2014,4 e.g. HP1 is linked to H200, H201,
via the hazard class Unst. Expl. and Expl. 1.1 etc.
Once hazard statements have been identified in Step 2, this allows identification of the
hazardous properties they are linked to, for consideration in all subsequent steps.
The CLP database maintained by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) contains data
relating to:
\\ Harmonised substances from Table 3.1 of the CLP5 (as amended by Adaptations to
Technical Progress) and
\\ Classifications of other substances notified to the European Chemical Agency.
This is available at:
http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/information-on-chemicals/cl-inventory-database
If the substance is not contained in the above database, the holder must determine what
hazard classes or categories, if any, it could fall into. Additional sources of information include
REACH compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).

SDSs must be European, REACH/CLP compliant and with no significant or relevant gaps
in the data, particularly hazardous properties that have not been addressed which could
possibly affect the waste classification, i.e. missing data “Not fully tested” under the relevant
hazardous property, i.e. HP14 or HP3.

Step 3 – Does the waste display HP1– HP15?

3.1 Assessment of Hazardous Properties with Concentration Limits

Concentration limits have been assigned for the hazardous properties HP4, HP5, HP6, HP7,
HP8, HP10, HP11, HP13 and HP14. The waste is hazardous if the concentration limits are
equalled or exceeded. All other entries in the harmonised LoW are considered non-hazardous.
In some situations, the assessment is based on the sum concentration of all relevant
substances6, i.e. the assessment is additive (e.g. for HP4, HP5, HP6 and HP8). In other
cases, assessment is based on comparison of the concentration of each relevant substance
individually against the concentration limit (i.e. for HP 7, HP 10 and HP 11).
If Step 3.1 provides a cut-off value, the substances present below the cut-off value specified
are not included in the sum of the concentrations for the hazard statement code that the
cut-off value applies to.

3 Hazard statements are assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of a hazardous substance or mixture,
including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. This supersedes the risk phrases (R Phrases) that were used in the previous
waste classification system except currently for the hazardous property HP14.

4 Of 18 December 2014, replacing Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste and
repealing certain Directives.

Regulation [EC] No 1907/2006. [Referred to as the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances Regulation. Note that
there are a significant number of amendments to this regulation [Adaptations to Technical Progress] as per the Eurolex website.]

6 Relevant substances means substances with the hazardous property under consideration.

 Environmental Protection Agency | Determining if waste is hazardous or non-hazardous

3.2 Assessment of Hazardous Properties without Concentration Limits

Concentration limits have not been assigned for hazardous properties, HP1, HP2, HP3, HP9,
HP12 and HP15. If your waste has a substance with any of these hazardous properties, the
waste is classified as hazardous, unless property testing is done and demonstrates that the
waste is non-hazardous. Evidence in this regard should be included in the classification report.
Without such testing, however, the waste remains hazardous7.

Step 4 – Does the waste contain POPs as outlined in Regulation ( EC ) NO

850 /2004 (as amended) above the specified concentration?
Wastes containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) consisting of polychlorinated dibenzo-
p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), DDT (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2- bis (4-chlorophenyl)
ethane), chlordane, hexachlorocyclohexanes (including lindane), dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor,
hexachlorobenzene, chlordecone, aldrine, pentachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene
hexabromobiphenyl and/or PCB exceeding the concentration limits indicated in Annex IV to
Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council shall be classified
as hazardous.
Wastes containing other POPs (for example endosulfan, hexachlorobutadiene, polychlorinated
naphthalenes, SCCPs, PFOS, the POP-BDEs and HCBD) shall be assessed against the POPs
Regulation and the hazardous properties in accordance with the procedures described in Step 3.

Step 5 – List of Waste Entr y

After completion of Steps 1 to 4 , an appropriate hazardous or non-hazardous entry from the
List of Wastes shall be assigned to the waste and the entered into the table in Step 5.

7 Commission Decision of 18 December 2014 amending Decision 2000/532/EC on the list of waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/

S.1.1.3.1. Notes relating to the identification, classification and

labelling of substances : Notes B, D, F, J, L , M, P, Q, R, and U.

Note B :
Some substances (acids, bases, etc.) are placed on the market in aqueous solutions at various
concentrations and, therefore, these solutions require different classification and labelling
since the hazards vary at different concentrations. In Part 3 entries with Note B have a general
designation of the following type: ‘nitric acid … %’. In this case the supplier must state the
percentage concentration of the solution on the label. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed
that the percentage concentration is calculated on a weight/weight basis.

Note D :
Certain substances which are susceptible to spontaneous polymerisation or decomposition
are generally placed on the market in a stabilised form. It is in this form that they are listed
in Part 3. However, such substances are sometimes placed on the market in a non-stabilised
form. In this case, the supplier must state on the label the name of the substance followed by
the words ‘non-stabilised’.

Note F:
This substance may contain a stabiliser. If the stabiliser changes the hazardous properties of
the substance, as indicated by the classification in Part 3, classification and labelling should be
provided in accordance with the rules for classification and labelling of hazardous mixtures.

Note J :
The classification as a carcinogen or mutagen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0.1 % w/w benzene (EINECS No 200-753-7). This note applies
only to certain complex coal- and oil-derived substances in Part 3.

Note L:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance contains
less than 3% DMSO extract as measured by IP 346 ‘Determination of polycyclic aromatics in
unused lubricating base oils and asphaltene free petroleum fractions — Dimethyl sulphoxide
extraction refractive index method’, Institute of Petroleum, London. This note applies only to
certain complex oil-derived substances in Part 3.

Note M :
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance
contains less than 0,005% w/w benzo[a]-pyrene (EINECS No 200-028-5). This note applies
only to certain complex coal-derived substances in Part 3.

Note P:
The classification as a carcinogen or mutagen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0.1% w/w benzene (EINECS No 200-753-7). When the substance
is not classified as a carcinogen at least the precautionary statements (P102-) P260-P262-
P301 + P310-P331 (Table 3.1) or the S-phrases (2-)23-24-62 (Table 3.2) shall apply.
This note applies only to certain complex oil-derived substances in Part 3.

48
 Environmental Protection Agency | Notes included in Annex VI to Regulation 9EC) No 1272/2008 as amended

Note Q :
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance fulfils
one of the following conditions:
a short term biopersistence test by inhalation has shown that the fibres longer than 20 µm
have a weighted half-life less than 10 days; or
a short term biopersistence test by intratracheal instillation has shown that the fibres longer
than 20 µm have a weighted half-life less than 40 days; or
an appropriate intra-peritoneal test has shown no evidence of excess carcinogenicity;
or
absence of relevant pathogenicity or neoplastic changes in a suitable long term inhalation
test.

Note R :
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply to fibres with a length weighted geometric
mean diameter less two standard geometric errors greater than 6 µm.

Note U :
When put on the market gases have to be classified as ‘Gases under pressure’, in one of the
groups compressed gas, liquefied gas, refrigerated liquefied gas or dissolved gas. The group
depends on the physical state in which the gas is packaged and therefore has to be assigned
case by case.
S.1.1.3.2. Notes relating to the classification and labelling of mixtures: Notes 1, 2, 3 and 5.

Note 1:
The concentration stated or, in the absence of such concentrations, the generic concentrations
of this Regulation (Table 3.1) or the generic concentrations of Directive 1999/45/EC (Table
3.2), are the percentages by weight of the metallic element calculated with reference to the
total weight of the mixture.

Note 2 :
The concentration of isocyanate stated is the percentage by weight of the free monomer
calculated with reference to the total weight of the mixture.

Note 3 :
The concentration stated is the percentage by weight of chromate ions dissolved in water
calculated with reference to the total weight of the mixture.

Note 5 :
The concentration limits for gaseous mixtures are expressed as volume per volume percentage.
