Waste sampling and characterization
Terra Neutral has scientists with more than 25 years of experience in environmental management, sustainable development and measurements.
Waste characterization is performed by assessing the potential hazardous properties of waste by analyzing potential chemical compounds contained in the specific waste and selecting the appropriate EWC code taking into account Regulation 1357/2014 and the Commission Communication on Technical Guidance on the Classification of Waste (2018/C 124/01) as well as the Decision 2003/33.
The evaluation is carried out taking into account that hazardous waste means waste which displays one or more of the fifteen hazardous properties listed in Regulation 1357/2014.
Sampling is carried out following appropriate sampling plans and standard methods for which our laboratory is accredited aiming at the collection of representative samples (EN 14899:2005, CEN/TR 15310-1:2006, CEN/TR 15310-2:2006, CEN/TR 15310-3:2006, EN ISO 5667-1, ISO 5667-10:2013, EN ISO 5667-13:2011, ISO 5667-15:2009).
