This is a Level 1 course - introduces the basics of waste classification
This course introduces the classification of waste by hand. It starts from the point where a mirror entry pair of codes has been selected (Course 101_3) and the laboratory analysis has been received.
The objectives of the course are to be able to classify a sample manually, to understand the links between Annex VI, Table 3 of the CLP, the thresholds in Table 2.1 of WM3, the information in the guidance (both UK and EU) and to understand the basic terminology including hazard statements, conversion factors, Note 1 entries, group entries, additivity and cut-offs.
After completing this unit, you will have an understanding of all the fundamental terminology, where the data, the rules and calculations come from and how they fit together. This will give you a working knowledge of waste classification (and how complicated it is to do by hand.)
