# Commission Decision of 30 April 2009 completing the technical requirements for waste characterisation laid down by Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the management of waste from extractive industries (notified under document number C(2009) 3013) (2009/360/EC), Division 5: Geochemical characteristics and behaviour of the waste

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Specification of the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the waste, and of any additives or residuals remaining in the waste.
Prediction of drainage chemistry over time for each type of waste, taking into account its intended handling, in particular:
evaluation of metals, oxyanion and salt leachability over time by pH dependence leaching test, and/or percolation test and/or time-dependent release and/or other suitable testing,
for sulphide-containing waste, static or kinetic tests shall be carried out in order to determine acid-rock drainage and metal leaching over time.
