S.L. 549.63 Art. 7List of waste.

(1) Commission Decision 2000/532/EC* establishing a list of wastes shall apply. The list of waste shall be binding as regards determination of the waste which is to be considered as hazardous waste. The inclusion of a substance or object in the list shall not mean that it is waste in all circumstances. A substance or object shall be considered to be waste only where the definition laid down in regulation 4 is met.

(2) The competent authority may consider waste as hazardous waste where, even though it does not appear as such in Commission † Decision 2000/532/EC , it displays one or more of the properties listed in Schedule 3: Provided that the competent authority shall notify the European Commission of any such cases without delay and provide it with all relevant information.

(3) Where the competent authority has evidence to show that a specific waste listed in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as hazardous waste does not display any of the properties listed in Schedule 3, it may consider that waste as non-hazardous waste.

(4) The reclassification of hazardous waste as non-hazardous waste may not be achieved by diluting or mixing the waste with the aim of lowering the initial concentrations of hazardous substances to a level below the thresholds for defining waste as hazardous laid down in Commission Decision 2000/532/EC.

(5) The competent authority may consider waste as non-hazardous waste in accordance with Commission Decision 2000/ 532/EC referred to in sub-regulation (1).
