3 PROCEDURES FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE

3.1 General approach to the classification of waste

3.1.1 Step 1: Is the WFD applicable?

3.1.2 Step 2: Which entry of the List of Waste is applicable?

3.2 Assignment of MH or MNH entry

3.2.1 Step 3: Is sufficient knowledge on the composition of the waste available to determine if it displays hazardous properties either by calculating or testing in line with Step 4?

3.2.2 Step 4: Does the waste display any of the hazardous properties HP1 to HP15?

3.2.3 Step 5: Is it likely or known that the waste contains any of the POPs indicated in in the Annex to the LoW (point 2, indent 3)?
