This Regulation establishes that consignment note of hazardous waste is a document containing information on the holder, generator, transporter and recipient of the waste, on the person who transfers the waste for transportation and also on the type, composition, quantity and main properties on the waste. Transferor of waste shall complete a consignment note, in conformity with the form approved by this Regulation, in four original copies. A person who transfers waste for transportation shall write the date of drawing up the consignment note in the cell in the upper right corner of the note, complete sections 1- 4 of the note, attaching, where necessary, other documents characterising the waste consignment, and shall transfer the consignment note to the transporter for transfer to the recipient. When waste is transferred for transportation, the transporter of waste shall complete section 5 of the consignment note and certify the operation with his or her signature. Upon transfer of waste to the recipient of waste, the recipient shall complete section 6 of the consignment note and shall certify receipt of the waste with his or her signature. The consignment note shall be transferred to the recipient together with each individual waste shipment, with one of the four original copies remaining with the transferor of the waste, the second with the transporter, and the third with the recipient; upon receipt of the waste, the recipient shall submit the fourth original copy of the consignment note to the Estonian Environment Information Centre for registration.
