subsequently, it needs to be assessed to which of the following entry types the waste under consideration needs to be assigned: Absolute hazardous (AH) entry (marked with an asterisk (*)) Wastes which are assigned to AH entries cannot be allocated to non-hazardous entries and are hazardous without any further assessment. In case an AH entry is assigned, the waste will be classified as hazardous and no further assessment is needed in order to decide whether the waste has to be classified as hazardous. However, it will still be necessary to proceed with steps 3-5 (see chapter 3.2) in order to determine which hazardous properties are displayed by the waste in question as this information may be required for the fulfilment of the provisions laid down in Article 19 of the WFD on correct labelling of hazardous waste (e.g. for filling a consignment note for waste movements). Please see Box 1 in Annex 1, Section 1.1 for information on AH entries displaying no hazardous properties. Absolute non-hazardous (ANH) entry Wastes which are assigned to ANH entries cannot be allocated to hazardous entries and should be classified as non-hazardous without any further assessment. In case an ANH entry is assigned, the waste will be classified as non-hazardous and no further assessment is needed in order to decide whether the waste has to be classified as non-hazardous. Please see Box 1 in Annex 1, Section 1.1 for information on ANH entries displaying hazardous properties. Mirror entry Mirror entries can be defined as two or more related entries where one is hazardous and the other is not. 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: In case there is the choice to assign a MH entry or a MNH entry, it is necessary to proceed with steps 3-5 (see chapter 3.2) of the classification process in order to determine, based on the results of these investigations, whether to assign the MH entry or the MNH entry.
