Study to assess the impacts of different classification approaches for hazard property "HP 14" on selected waste streams"

Final report

Metadata for publikationen

No guidelines or recommendations currently exist at EU level for a specific methodology for the assessment of the ecotoxic property of waste HP 14. As a result, HP 14 assessment is performed in different ways throughout EU Member States. The revised waste legislation, which entered into force in June 2015, did not include amendments to the HP 14 property because no satisfactory methodology could be developed and assessed in time. This study aimed to assess the impacts for Member States and industry of the implementation of four different options of calculation methods for assessing HP 14. The comparative assessment of the four calculation methods on a selected sample of mirror pairs was restricted by limitations in data availability and quality. Nevertheless, results suggest that the method based on the CLP regulation and considering all relevant Hphrases, but including neither M-factors nor generic cut-off values, was the most suitable for assessing HP 14. This method showed good concordance with current classification (baseline) and classification based on biotest results, as well as reasonable environmental, social and economic impacts of its implementation.
