Assessment of waste and product hazardousness applies to:
All companies that manufacture, import, use, or manage waste and products that may contain hazardous substances.
Waste holders, waste handlers, producers, and importers when it is necessary to determine whether waste or products are classified as hazardous or non-hazardous.
Mandatory when waste or products have a “mirror” code (HP/HN), when there are doubts about hazardous properties, or when required by legislation or permit conditions.
Before transferring waste to a handler or exporting it.
When changing the composition of a product, technology, or raw materials.
When starting a new activity or manufacturing a new product.
When classifying waste or products, registering in GPAIS, filling in consignment notes, or performing compliance declarations.
When required by the Environmental Protection Department or other institutions.
Assessment of waste or product hazard based on:
Waste list and code type (AN – absolutely non-hazardous, AP – absolutely hazardous, VP/VN – mirror code, requires assessment).
Criteria for hazardous properties (HP1–HP15) set out in Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1357/2014 of 18 December 2014.
Laboratory tests of waste composition (if necessary).
Concentrations and limit values of hazardous substances.
For products – according to REACH, CLP, waste management and other applicable legislation.
Prepared:
Hazard assessment protocol or report.
Classification of waste or product (hazardous/non-hazardous).
Waste or product code and hazardous properties (indicated in GPAIS, consignment notes, accompanying documents).
If necessary – hazardous waste labeling, packaging, storage and transport requirements.
