Abstract

Regulation 2 of and Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations define special waste. These Regulations amend that definition by clarifying and updating the cross-references to the approved supply list issued for the purposes of the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994 and by amending the definition of household waste. Regulation 2 implements the definition of hazardous waste in the Directive and in particular in the list annexed to Council Decision 94/904/EC. The definition extends, in accordance with Article 4 of the Directive, to certain other waste considered by the United Kingdom to display particular hazardous properties. These Regulations also amend regulation 4 to allow the Agencies to delay assignment of a code until payment of any fee required in respect of it and amend regulation 8 to provide for only one set of documents to be required in cases where waste of more than one description is collected on a carrier's round.
