Commission notice on technical guidance on the classification of waste · European Union

The last step in the classification of waste as hazardous or non-hazardous is to determine whether the waste contains any of the POPs indicated in in the Annex to the LoW (point 2, indent 3)., more specifically whether its content of specific POPs exceeds the relevant limit values of the POP Regulation. A detailed overview, including a list of POPs to be considered and the respective concentration limits, is provided in Annex 1, Section 1.4.10. In case the waste does not contain relevant POPs or its POP content is below the concentration limits, the MNH entry is assigned. Otherwise the MH entry is assigned.
