BS EN 12516 Waste Hazard Classification Review
The BS EN 12516 standard is a critical tool used in waste management and recycling testing to classify hazardous materials. This classification ensures that waste substances are managed appropriately, aligning with environmental protection regulations across Europe.
Under this regulation, every substance or mixture of substances intended for disposal must be classified based on its potential hazards. The classification criteria include physical state, flammability, reactivity, and toxicity among others. Proper classification is essential to ensure that waste material can be safely stored, transported, treated, and disposed of.
The process involves several steps including the identification of hazardous components within a waste stream, determination of the appropriate hazard class, and assigning a specific label and safety data sheet (SDS). This ensures compliance with both national and international regulations such as REACH in Europe or TSCA in North America. Misclassification can lead to significant legal penalties and operational risks.
