United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

When assessing the hazardous properties of wastes, the criteria laid down in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC shall apply. For the hazardous properties HP 4, HP 6 and HP 8, cut-off values for individual substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC shall apply to the assessment. Where a substance is present in the waste below its cut-off value, it shall not be included in any calculation of a threshold. Where a hazardous property of a waste has been assessed by a test and by using the concentrations of hazardous substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, the results of the test shall prevail.
