| --- | --- |

(1)

Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC lists properties of waste which render it hazardous.

| (2) | Directive 2008/98/EC states that the classification of waste as hazardous should be based, inter alia, on the Union legislation on chemicals, in particular concerning the classification of preparations as hazardous, including concentration limit values used for that purpose. Furthermore, it is necessary to maintain the system by which waste and hazardous waste have been classified in accordance with the list of the types of waste as last established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC (2), in order to encourage a harmonised classification of waste and ensure the harmonised determination of hazardous waste within the Union. |
