Test Methods

A HP 5 assessment of a waste is made based — on the identification of the individual substances in the waste; — their classification; — reference to concentration limits. If testing is considered when determining this hazard property, waste containing substances listed in Table 13 should be assessed for specific target organ toxicity and aspiration toxicity properties in accordance with the ECHA CLP Guidance. Test methods given in the Test Methods Regulation that rely on animal testing are not appropriate (15). Further in-vitro methods may be available from other sources, such as the European Union Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (16). Where a hazardous property of a waste has been assessed by a test and by using the concentrations of hazardous substances as indicated in Annex III to the WFD, the results of the test should prevail.
