term is considered to be in line with property H10 in
Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC.

ANNEX

(cid:145)ANNEX

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 applies.

3.

3.1.

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.

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 surface 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.

5.

6.

7.

8.

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.

For the purpose of this Decision, (cid:147)dangerous substance(cid:148) means any substance that has been or will be classified
as dangerous in Directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments; (cid:147)heavy metal(cid:148) 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.

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 apply. For the characteristics H1, H2, H9 and H12 to H14
Article 2 of the present Decision does not provide specifications at present.

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.

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.

Stabilisation processes change the dangerousness of the constituents in the waste and thus transform hazardous waste into
non-hazardous waste. Solidification processes only change the physical state of the waste (e.g. liquid into solid) by using additives
without changing the chemical properties of the waste.

(5) A waste is considered as partly stabilised if, after the stalibisation process, dangerous constituents which have not been changed

completely into non-dangerous constituents could be released into the environment in the short, middle or long term.
