The provision which may be made by regulations under paragraph (1) includes—
a
provision specifying identifying codes for categories of waste; and
b
provision specifying categories of waste which—
i
are hazardous waste;
ii
are non-hazardous waste; or
iii
are hazardous waste if they contain a concentration of a substance which exceeds a value specified in the regulations, and are non-hazardous waste otherwise;
c
provision amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste5.
3
The inclusion of a substance or object in a list of waste is not conclusive as to whether it is waste in all circumstances, and a substance or object is only to be considered as waste for the purposes of any legislation if, in the circumstances, it meets the definition of waste which applies for those purposes.
