Although Annex III to the WFD is based on the CLP Regulation, it does not contain a full ‘one to one’ transposition of the criteria as laid down in CLP. Instead, in terms of the classification of waste, it should be noted that some of the HP criteria of Annex III to the WFD directly make reference to CLP hazard classes and categories and to hazard statements and associated criteria for classification. Many mirror entries specifically refer to ‘hazardous substances’. The classification of substances is done according CLP whereas the presence of hazardous substances contained in waste has to be evaluated in line with Annex III to the WFD (see in detail 2.3.2 and Annex 3). Further, Table 3.1 of Part 3 of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation provides a set of official harmonised classifications of substances. Where such harmonised classification is available, it has to be used in the classification of waste (see for this particular aspect Annex 2, Section 2.1.1).
