When either of these tests gives a positive result it is assumed that the material contains tar and therefore is hazardous, unless the holder of the waste stream is able to demonstrate that the concentration of PAHs is below the threshold levels in Annex III to the WFD so it can be classified as non-hazardous. However, the classification as (non-)hazardous must not be done exclusively based on the presence of PAHs but should take into account all the substances present in the waste stream.
