— Mirror entry

Mirror entries can be defined as two or more related entries where one is hazardous and the other is not. Sometimes a member of a mirror entry can correspond to several possible related alternative entries. In contrast to AH or ANH entries, if waste is to be allocated to a group of alternative entries, further steps in the assessment for allocation have to be undertaken. The alternative entries consist at least of the following entries: Mirror hazardous (MH) entry MH entries are marked in orange colour in the Annotated List of Waste (cf. Table 3 in Section 1.2.1). Mirror non-hazardous (MNH) entry MNH entries are marked in dark blue colour in the Annotated List of Waste (cf. Table 3 in Section 1.2.1). Mirror entries can be divided into the following sub-categories: The decision between alternative MH and MNH entry is determined by a general reference to hazardous substances, e.g.: 10 12 09* | solid wastes from gas treatment containing hazardous substances | MH 10 12 10 | solid wastes from gas treatment other than those mentioned in 10 12 09 | MNH The decision between alternative MH and MNH entry is determined by a specific reference to particular hazardous substances, e.g.: 16 01 11* | brake pads containing asbestos | MH 16 01 12 | brake pads other than those mentioned in 16 01 11 | MNH For entries with references to multiple entries, the assignment of an entry may depend on the origin or certain properties of the waste in question as well as its potentially contained hazardous substances, e.g.: 17 06 01* | insulation materials containing asbestos | MH 17 06 03* | insulation materials consisting of or containing hazardous substances | MH 17 06 04 | Insulation materials other than those mentioned in 17 06 01 and 17 06 03 | MNH Often, but not necessarily, corresponding mirror entries can be recognized via the referencing words ‘other than those mentioned in…’ between MH and MNH entries. In case there is the choice to assign a MH entry or a MNH entry, it is necessary to proceed with steps 3-5 (cf. Chapter 3.2) of the classification process in order to determine the presence and content of hazardous substances in relevant concentrations, or to determine if the waste directly displays hazardous properties, so as to adequately assign the MH entry or the MNH entry to the waste stream under consideration.
