Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Version Superseded: 01/06/2015
EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
liquid substances and preparations having a flash point below 21 °C (including extremely flammable liquids), or
substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air at ambient temperature without any application of energy, or
solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a source of ignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of ignition, or
gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in air at normal pressure, or
substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
The methods to be used are described in Annex V to Directive 67/548/EEC and in other relevant CEN-notes.

This operation is prohibited by EU legislation and international conventions.
If there is no other D code appropriate, this can include preliminary operations prior to disposal including pre-processing such as, inter alia, sorting, crushing, compacting, pelletising, drying, shredding, conditioning or separating prior to submission to any of the operations numbered D1 to D12.
Temporary storage means preliminary storage according to point (10) of Article 3.
This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above:
0,60 for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicable Community legislation before 1 January 2009,
0,65 for installations permitted after 31 December 2008,
using the following formula:
Energy efficiency = (Ep - (Ef + Ei))/(0,97 × (Ew + Ef))
In which:
Ep means annual energy produced as heat or electricity. It is calculated with energy in the form of electricity being multiplied by 2,6 and heat produced for commercial use multiplied by 1,1 (GJ/year)
Ef means annual energy input to the system from fuels contributing to the production of steam (GJ/year)
Ew means annual energy contained in the treated waste calculated using the net calorific value of the waste (GJ/year)
Ei means annual energy imported excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year)
0,97 is a factor accounting for energy losses due to bottom ash and radiation.
This formula shall be applied in accordance with the reference document on Best Available Techniques for waste incineration.
This includes gasification and pyrolisis using the components as chemicals.
This includes soil cleaning resulting in recovery of the soil and recycling of inorganic construction materials.
If there is no other R code appropriate, this can include preliminary operations prior to recovery including pre-processing such as, inter alia, dismantling, sorting, crushing, compacting, pelletising, drying, shredding, conditioning, repackaging, separating, blending or mixing prior to submission to any of the operations numbered R1 to R11.
Temporary storage means preliminary storage according to point (10) of Article 3.
