This guidance is a supplement (Appendix D) to our Technical Guidance (WM2) on the assessment and classification of hazardous waste. It should be used in conjunction with WM2.
The main aim of this document is to provide guidance on the sampling of waste.
It is a legal requirement to correctly assess and classify your waste. For many wastes there may be sufficient information to do this without the need to sample. Where sampling is needed this appendix is guidance to help you do so properly.
