PREFACE
In 1994, the first European Waste Catalogue1 and hazardous waste list2 were published as two separate
documents. The lists were used by the Environmental Protection Agency for the compilation of waste
data from 1995 and were adopted into Irish legislation by the Waste Management Act, 1996. In 1996, the
Environmental Protection Agency published a single list which incorporated both the European Waste
Catalogue and the hazardous waste list3.
The European Waste Catalogue and hazardous waste list are used for the classification of all wastes and
hazardous wastes and are designed to form a consistent waste classification system across the EU. They
form the basis for all national and international waste reporting obligations, such as those associated with
waste licences and permits, the National Waste Database and the transport of waste.
In 2000, a replacement waste list and hazardous waste list4 was introduced, which comes in to force on 1
January 2002. This replacement waste list has been amended three times5, 6, 7. Hence, four documents are
required in order to have the complete list. The documents are not always easy to obtain and following the
sequence of the amendments can be difficult.
This document represents a consolidated version of all four documents. This consolidated document is
designed to ease the task of classifying waste and hazardous waste and understanding the legislation
associated with the classification of waste and hazardous waste. It may be used in classifying all wastes
and hazardous wastes. Much of the introductory text is reproduced in full from the legislation, with the
addition in places of explanatory notes. The source of reproduced text is clearly indicated in each case.
Future amendments to the legislation will be incorporated into future editions of this document.
This document does not purport to be and should not be considered a legal interpretation of the EU and
Irish legislation on which it is based. Any queries of this nature should in the first instance be addressed
to the parent legislation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The European Waste Catalogue and hazardous waste list

The European Waste Catalogue and hazardous waste list presented in this document is based on the
following EU legislation:
Commission Decision 2000/532/EC (OJ L 226, 6.9.2000, p. 3)
As amended by:
Council Decision 2001/573/EC (OJ L 203, 28.7.2001, p. 18)
This document will be updated as further amendments are made to the list.
Date of introduction of the new list

The European Waste Catalogue and hazardous waste list presented in this document come into force on 1
January 2002.
All waste reporting for the year 2002 and subsequent years should use the classifications in this
document.
All waste reporting for the year 2001 and earlier should use Waste Catalogue and Hazardous Waste
List, published in 19968. The 1996 document will continue to be available from EPA Publications and on
the EPA website (www.epa.ie) for a limited time.
Definition of waste
Waste Management Acts 1996 and 2001
Waste is defined in Section 4(1) of the Waste Management Acts 1996 and 2001 as any substance or
object belonging to a category of waste specified in the First Schedule [of the Waste Management Act] or
for the time being included in the European Waste Catalogue which the holder discards or intends or is
required to discard, and anything which is discarded or otherwise dealt with as if it were waste shall be
presumed to be waste until the contrary is proved.
The full text of the definition, including the First Schedule, can be read in the Waste Management Acts
1996 and 2001 (available from Government Publications or on the website of the Attorney General at
www.irlgov.ie).

Definition of hazardous waste

Waste Management Acts 1996 and 2001
Hazardous waste is defined in Section 4(2) of the Waste Management Acts 1996 and 2001. The
hazardous waste list forms an integral part of the definition. Figure 1 illustrates a summary of the
definition and the decision sequence to be followed. Figure 1 shows that in order to be classified as
hazardous waste, a waste must:
appear on the hazardous waste list or be prescribed under section 4(2)(a)(ii) of the Waste
Management Act; and also
display one or more of the properties indicated in the Second Schedule to the Act.
The full text of the definition of hazardous waste can be read in the Waste Management Acts 1996 and
2001. It is also reproduced in full in the National Hazardous Waste Management Plan (available from
EPA Publications, Richview, Clonskeagh Road, Dublin 14, tel: 01-2680100, fax: 01-2680199).

Article 2
Wastes classified as hazardous are considered to display one or more of the properties listed in
Annex III to Directive 91\689\EEC and, as regards H3 to H8, H10 9 and H11 of the said Annex, one
or more of the following characteristics:
- flash point OHVVWKDQRUHTXDOWR&
- one or more substances classified10 as very toxic at a total concentration 0.1%
- one or more substances classified as toxic at a total concentration 3 %
- one or more substances classified as harmful at a total concentration 25%
- one or more corrosive substances classified as R35 at a total concentration 1%
- one or more corrosive substances classified as R34 at a total concentration 5%
- one or more irritant substances classified as R41 at a total concentration 10%
- one or more irritant substances classified as R36, R37, R38 at a total concentration 20%
- one substance known to be carcinogenic of category 1 or 2 at a concentration 0.1%
- one substance known to be carcinogenic of category 3 at a concentration 1%
- one substance toxic for reproduction9 of category 1 or 2 classified as R60, R61 at a concentration
0.5%
- one substance toxic for reproduction of category 3 classified as R62, R63 at a concentration
5%
- one mutagenic substance or category 1 or 2 classified as R46 at a concentration 0.1%
- one mutagenic substance of category 3 classified as R40 at a concentration 1%
9
In Directive 92\32\EEC amending for the seventh time Directive 67/548/EEC the term toxic for
reproduction was introduced. The term teratogenic was replaced by a corresponding term toxic for
reproduction. This term is considered to be in line with property H10 in Annex III to Directive
91/689/EEC.
10
The classification as well as the R numbers refer to Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the
laws, regulations and administrative provision relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of
dangerous substances (OJ L 196, 16.8.1967, p. 1.) and its subsequent amendments. The concentration
limits refer to those laid down in Directive 88/379/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations
and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and
labelling of dangerous preparation (OJ L 187, 16.7.1988, p.14.) and its subsequent amendments.

Annex III
PROPERTIES OF WASTES WHICH RENDER THEM HAZARDOUS
H1 Explosive: substances and preparations which may explode under the effect of flame or which
are more sensitive to shocks or friction than dinitrobenzene.
H2 Oxidizing: substances and preparations which exhibit highly exothermic reactions when in
contact with other substances, particularly flammable substances.
H3-A Highly flammable
- liquid substances and preparations having a flash point below 21C (including extremely
flammable liquids), or
- substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with
air at ambient temperature without any application of energy, or
- solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a
source of ignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the
source of ignition, or
- gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in air at normal pressure, or
- substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve highly
flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
H3-B Flammable: liquid substances and preparations having a flash point equal to or greater than
21C and less than or equal to 55C.
H4 Irritant: non-corrosive substances and preparations which, through immediate, prolonged or

repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, can cause inflammation.
H5 Harmful: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate
the skin, may involve limited health risks.
H6 Toxic: substances and preparations (including very toxic substances and preparations) which, if
they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may involve serious, acute or
chronic health risks and even death.
H7 Carcinogenic: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they
penetrate the skin, may induce cancer or increase its incidence.
H8 Corrosive: substances and preparations which may destroy living tissue on contacts.
H9 Infectious: substances containing viable micro-organisms or their toxins which are known or
reliably believed to cause disease in man or other living organisms.
H10 Teratogenic9: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they
penetrate the skin, may induce non-hereditary congenital malformations or increase their
incidence.
H11 Mutagenic: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they
penetrate the skin, may induce hereditary genetic defects or increase their incidence.
H12 Substances and preparations which release toxic or very toxic gases in contact with water, air or
6
an acid.
H13 Substances and preparations capable by any means, after disposal, of yielding another
substance, e.g. a leachate, which possesses any of the characteristics listed above.
H14 Ecotoxic: substances and preparations which present or may present immediate or delayed
risks for one or more sectors of the environment.
Notes
1. Attribution of the hazard properties toxic (and very toxic), harmful, corrosive and irritant
is made on the basis of the criteria laid down by Annex VI, part I A and part II B, of Council
Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 of the approximation of laws, regulations and
administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous
substances11, (or by subsequent Commission Directives adapting Directive 67/548/EEC to
technical progress - See the Hazardous Waste Classification Tool for information on relevant
amendments).
2. With regard to attribution of the properties carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic, and
reflecting the most recent findings, additional criteria are contained in the Guide to the
classification and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations of Annex VI (part II D) to
Directive 67/548/EEC, in the version as amended by Commission Directive 83/467/EEC12 (or by
subsequent Commission Directives adapting Directive 67/548/EEC to technical progress - See
the Hazardous Waste Classification Tool for information on relevant amendments).
Test methods
The test methods serve to give specific meaning to the definitions given in Annex III.
The methods to be used are those described in Annex V to Directive 67/548/EEC, in the version as
amended by Commission Directive 84/449/EEC13, or by subsequent Commission Directives
adapting Directive 67/548/EEC to technical progress (See the Hazardous Waste Classification Tool
for information on relevant amendments). These methods are themselves based on the work and
recommendations of the competent international bodies, in particular the OECD.
Article 3
Member States may decide, in exceptional cases, on the basis of documentary evidence provided in an
appropriate way by the holder, that a specific waste indicated in the list as being hazardous does not
display any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC. Without prejudice to Article 1
(4), second indent, of Directive 91/689/EEC, Member States may decide, in exceptional cases, that a
waste indicated in the list as being non-hazardous displays one or more of the properties listed in Annex
III to Directive 91/689/EEC. All such decisions taken by Member States shall be communicated on a
11
OJ N L 196, 16. 8. 1967, p. 1.
12
OJ N L 257, 16. 9. 1983, p. 1.
13
OJ N L 251, 19. 9. 1984, p. 1.

yearly basis to the Commission. The Commission shall collate these decisions and examine whether the
Community list of wastes and hazardous wastes should be amended in the light of them.
Hazardous waste classification tool

The Environmental Protection Agency funded a project under the Environmental RTDI Programme
entitled Procedure for Identification of the Hazardous Components of Waste. The project was carried out
by the Clean Technology Centre, Cork Institute of Technology, Cork. The output of the project is a
detailed breakdown of the complex legislation which is used in classifying the hazardous properties of a
waste. Where a holder of waste wishes to provide evidence of the presence or absence of hazardous
properties of that waste, in accordance with Article 3 above, the Hazardous Waste Classification Tool
provides a mechanism to do this. The project report and the Hazardous Waste Classification Tool are
available on the website of the Environmental Protection Agency at www.epa.ie/techinfo. Printed copies
may be available from EPA Publications, Richview, Clonskeagh Road, Dublin 14, tel: 01-2680100, fax:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE LIST

List of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Article 1(4) of Directive
91/689/EEC on hazardous waste.
Introduction
1. The present list is a harmonised list of wastes. It will be periodically reviewed on the basis of
new knowledge and, in particular, of research results, and if necessary revised in accordance
with Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC. However, the inclusion of a material in the list does
not mean that the material is a waste in all circumstances. Materials are considered to be waste
only where the definition of waste in Article 1(a) of Directive 75/442/EEC is met.
2. Wastes included in the list are subject to the provisions of Directive 75/442/EEC except where
Article 2 (1)(b) of this Directive applies14.
3. The different types of wastes in the list are fully defined by the six-digit code for the waste and
the respective two-digit and four-digit chapter headings. This implies that the following steps
should be taken to identify a waste in the list.
3.1 Identify the source generating the waste in Chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20 and identify the
appropriate six-digit code of the waste (excluding codes ending with 99 of these chapters).
A specific production unit may need to classify its activities in several chapters. For
instance, a car manufacturer may find its wastes listed in chapters 12 (wastes from shaping
and surfacing treatment of metals) 11 (inorganic wastes containing metals from metal
treatment and the coating of metals) and 08 (wastes from the use of coatings), depending on
the different process steps.
Note: separately collected packaging waste (including mixtures of different packaging

materials) shall be classified in 15 01, not in 20 01.
3.2 If no appropriate waste code can be found in chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20, the chapters 13,
14 and 15 must be examined to identify the waste.
3.3 If none of these waste codes apply, the waste must be identified according to Chapter 16.
3.4 If the waste is not in chapter 16 either, the 99 code (wastes not otherwise specified) must be
used in the section of the list corresponding to the activity identified in step one.
4. Any waste marked with an asterisk (*) is considered as a hazardous waste pursuant to Directive
91/689/EEC on hazardous waste, and subject to the provisions of that Directive unless Article 1
(5) of that Directive applies.
5. For the purpose of this Decision, dangerous substance means any substance that has been or
will be classified as dangerous in Directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments; heavy
metal means any compound of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), copper, lead,
mercury, nickel, selenium, tellurium, thallium and tin, as well as these materials in metallic
form, as far as these are classified as dangerous substances.
6. If a waste is identified as hazardous by a specific or general reference to dangerous substances,

the waste is hazardous only if the concentrations of those substances are such (i.e. percentage by
weight) that the waste presents one or more of the properties listed in Annex III to Council
Directive 91/689/EEC. As regards H3 to H8, H10 and H11, Article 2 of this Decision shall
14
Article 2(1)(b) lists materials that are excluded from the scope of Directive 75/442/EEC.
9
apply. For the characteristics H1, H2, H9 and H12 to H14, Article 2 of the present Decision
does not provide specifications at present.
7. In line with Directive 1999/45/EC, which states in its preamble that the case of alloys has been
considered to need further assessment because the characteristics of alloys are such that it may
not be possible accurately to determine their properties using currently available conventional
methods, the provisions of Article 2 would not apply to pure metal alloys (not contaminated by
dangerous substances). This will be so pending further work that the Commission and Member
States have taken the commitment to undertake on the specific approach of the classification of
alloys. The waste materials which are specifically enumerated in this list shall remain classified
as at present.
8. The following rules for numbering of the items in the list have been used: For those wastes that
were not changed, the code numbers from Commission Decision 94/3/EC have been used. The
codes for wastes that were changed have been deleted and remain unused in order to avoid
confusion after implementation of the new list. Wastes added have been given a code that has
not been used in Commission Decision 94/3/EC and Commission Decision 2000/532/EC.
