Abstract

This Decision sets out the technical requirements to be met by waste characterization, which is envisaged by Directive 2006/21/EC as part of the waste management plan to be drawn up by operators of extractive industries and approved by the competent authority. The purpose of the characterization of extractive waste is to obtain the relevant information on the waste to be managed in order to be able to assess and monitor its properties, behaviour and characteristics and thereby ensure that it is managed under environmentally safe conditions in the long term.
