# The Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 25: Additional criteria for waste acceptable without testing at landfills for inert waste


(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), waste of the types set out in Table 8 may be accepted without testing at landfills for inert waste provided the waste is—
(a) from a single stream waste of a single waste type unless different waste types from the list in Table 8 are accepted together, and
(b) from a single source.
(2) Waste referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must be tested where there is suspicion of contamination or doubt that the waste meets the definition of inert waste in paragraph 4 of this schedule or the criteria in Table 8.
(3) If such testing reveals contamination or the presence of other materials or substances such as metals, asbestos, plastics or chemicals, the waste must not be accepted at a landfill for inert waste if the extent of the contamination is such as to increase the risk associated with the waste sufficiently to justify its disposal in other classes of landfill.
