Absolute hazardous (AH) entry

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

Wastes which are assigned to AH entries cannot be allocated to alternative non-hazardous entries and are hazardous without any further assessment. AH entries are marked in dark red colour in the Annotated List of Waste (cf. Table 3 in Section 1.2.1 of this Annex). 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 3-4 (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).
