Methods of the Assessment of hazardous Properties

1.Is the waste Directive waste?2.Does the domestic legislation contain specific provisions that relate to the waste in question?3.How is the waste coded and classified on the EWC 2002?4.Is the composition of the waste known or can it be determined?5.Does the waste contain “dangerous substances”?6.Is there any reason to indicate the waste may be hazardous (e.g. test results)?7.Does the waste possess any of the hazardous properties H1 to H14?

Wokshop 07.05.2008


Methods of the Assessment of hazardous Properties

Calculating:For many wastes the most appropriate method is to identify the hazardous constituents/chemicals in the waste and then to use their concentrations in the waste to identify whether they confer hazardous properties on the waste.

Testing:For some hazards testing of physical properties might be the most appropriate method. For example, to identify whether a liquid waste is flammable or not, for which the threshold is 55oC, a flashpoint determination is probably the simplest method. This is because the flashpoint depends upon the concentration of the flammable chemicals in the waste. Other examples of hazards where a test could be the simplest option are H1 “Explosive” and H2 “Oxidising”.

Threshold concentrations:In § 3 of the AVV the hreshold concentrations with the signs, R-Phrases and there combinations are taken from the Legislation on Hazardous Substances.
