About the Book

The paper based toolwas developed to interpret and facilitate the classification of hazardous waste in accordance with current Irish and EU legislation. According to the Waste Management Act, 1996, waste categorised as hazardous waste must be handled in accordance with certain procedures. In many instances, however, there can be considerable confusion when attempting to determine whether or not a waste is to be categorised as hazardous waste. Legislation states that holders of waste may apply to have a waste categorised as non-hazardous waste - even though the waste may be on the hazardous waste list - if it does not exhibit the properties of a hazardous waste. The Waste Management Act, 1996, implements appropriate European Union (EU) legislation, in particular the Hazardous Waste Directive from 1991 and the associated EU Decisions implementing the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) and the Hazardous Waste List (HWL). Further reference is required to the Dangerous Substances Directive and associated test methods. The procedures for determining if a waste is hazardous waste are often complex and difficult to follow. There was a requirement, therefore, for a definitive methodology, backed by all pertinent information, which would guide a holder of waste through the categorisation of the waste, and which could also be used by regulators in making a determination. All the relevant legislation was gathered at the time of the study and the properties and test methods of the Dangerous Substances Directive and its amendments were distilled into a usable format. The only effective approach to this project, ultimately, was the production of a paper-based tool, which guides the user through the procedures. The tool is in the form of a workbook with an associated worksheet which directs the user to current Irish and EU legislation. Five worked examples are provided in this report to illustrate the use of the paper-based tool. New waste classification legislation became effective on 1 January 2002. Nonetheless, some difficulties remain and are identified. The legislative framework is neither entirely comprehensive nor sufficiently specific to address all cases. Hence, the tool may not be universal. This tool interprets current Irish and EU legislation. However, its validity depends on it being maintained. The tool must be regularly updated to reflect any legislative advances. This refers not only to the waste legislation, but also to the associated test methods and the classification of substances. The tool is updated regularly on the EPA website (http://www.epa.ie). In examining practice in other EU Member States, it was apparent that there is a common desire among regulatory authorities to address the difficulties, which are shared. Consequently, there is a need for additional co-operation between EU Member States to share experiences and harmonise practices, particularly at the level of those responsible for the actual classification of wastes. If there is any doubt regarding classification, reference must be made to the appropriate regulatory authority. This is particularly necessary if a suspect waste is to be classified as non-hazardous waste.
