Definition and further description of Annex III to WFD
Annex III to the WFD defines HP 8 ‘Corrosive’ as: ‘waste which on application can cause skin corrosion’ Hazards HP 8 and HP 4 are linked because they refer to the potential for harm or damage to tissue at different levels of severity. See 3.4 for further details. The WFD further explains that: ‘When a waste contains one or more substances classified as Skin corr.1A, 1B or 1C (H314) and the sum of their concentrations exceeds or equals 5 %, the waste shall be classified as hazardous by HP 8.’ Table 16 Hazard Class, Category Code(s) and Hazard Statement Code(s) for waste constituents and the corresponding concentration limits for the classification of wastes as hazardous by HP 8 For cases where a waste contains a substance to be classified as H314 Skin Corr.1A at a concentration ≥ 1 % and ≤ 5 % see also HP 4 Irritant (chapter 3.4 of this document).
