Chapter II Hazardous waste classification and concentration 2.1 Hazardous waste classification Article 37 of Chapter 3 in Part III of the Environment Protection Law (Revised) has categorized waste into two types: a) General wastes b) Toxic and hazardous wastes Hazardous waste that contains one or more toxic substances or 2 characteristics or releases substances that have corresponding characteristics are categorized as follows: 1) Explosive 2) Flammable 3) Oxidizing 4) Toxic or harmful to health (acute or chronic, irritating, carcinogenic, mutagenic) 5) Infectious 6) Corrosive 7) Toxic to the ecosystem (eco-toxic). Moreover, boxes or containers contaminated with toxic and hazardous chemicals are considered as toxic and hazardous waste. 2.2 Identifying toxic and hazardous waste concentration Concentration identification of toxicity in waste or toxicity to the ecosystem must operate on a case to case basis with references or scientific information from acceptable laboratories. Toxic components of the waste determined by the highest concentration limits would be identified as toxic and hazardous waste. Concentration levels or characteristics to determine if waste is classified as hazardous are as follows: 1) Flash point S 55°C, 2) Contains substances classifiedas very toxic at a total concentration SO,! %, 3) Contains substances classified as toxic at a total concentration S3%, 4) Contains substances classified as harmful at a total concentration S25%, 5) Contains corrosive substances classified as causing severe burns, at a total concentration S 1%, 6) Contains corrosive substances classified as causing burns, at a total concentration S 5%, 7) Contains irritant substances classified as causing serious damage to eyes, at a total concentration S 10 %, 8) Contains irritant substances classified as irritating to eyes, respiratory system or skin, at a total concentration S 20 %, 9) Contains substances known to be carcinogenic at a total concentration S 0,1 % Toxic and hazardous classification and concentration identifying is referred to in the toxic and hazardous waste list in Appendix 1 of 3 the Basel Convention, which is in Appendix I of these instructions. In cases where the waste contains many hazardous chemicals which have similar hazardous characteristics, the concentration will be calculated together. Contaminated empty containers will be identified as toxic and hazardous waste. Soil and other substances or objects contaminated with chemicals will be considered as toxic and hazardous waste, except when the owner can guarantee that the concentration is bellowed and classified by the related organization. 2.3 Relationship between hazardous wastes and toxic chemicals Meaning of relationship between hazardous wastes and toxic chemicals: I) Waste from firing fuel, waste water and air pollution control such as ash from coal, oil and wood, waste muffler, waste from surface abrasion and mud from waste water can all be hazardous; 2) Hazardous waste can be recycled; 3) Recycling should focus on businesses that have environment certificates; 4) Environment certificates should have conditions relating to hazardous waste management and recycling, and 5) law enforcement for waste water treatment and air and soil pollution control if generating a high amount of hazardous waste. Chapter III Obligation for hazardous waste management 3.1 Obligations of government agencies concerned with hazardous waste management To implement the prevention and control of scattered hazardous waste transfer and to control import-export and cross border transfer of hazardous waste, the related government agencies must act as follows: I) Consider application register and permit for import-export or cross-border transit of hazardous waste from entrepreneurs and destruction services; 2) Draft contract for import-export or cross-border transit of hazardous waste with entrepreneurs and services by clearly 4 specifying responsibilities of each party; 3) Seek necessary information such as destruction process from entreprenuers and services who need to import-export or cross-border transit hazardous waste to use as reference for filling out forms and transfer certificates; 4) Weigh and inspect, and if necessary sample to ensure the waste is following the notification and contract. After this, the unit concerned must sign the transit certificate and send copies to the local authorities concerned in seven work days; 5) In the case of hazardous waste being destructed appropriately without any impact to the social system and environment, the concerned units would also sign the transit certificate and send copies to the authorities or countries concerned in 180 work days; 6) Officially inform local or import country units concerned to exporter and/or transit or notified person according to cases on permit, with consideration to transfer with or without conditions or rejection or additional information request; 7) Prohibit hazardous waste in cases of destruction services confirming the waste cannot be destructed in an eco-friendly manner; 8) Specify legal measures to implement import-export and transit control; 9) Specify standards and containment methods by using specific stickers following international standards; 10) Identify the need to have insurance and financial guarantees, and obligation contracts with entreprenuers on hazardous waste according to import-export or transfer requests; and 11) Identify punishment measures for illegal import-export or transit entreprenuers in Lao PDR. For steps 4 and 5, implement destruction of all hazardous waste imports as issued in Appendix 3 of these instructions. In cases where the imports and destructed services of hazardous waste are apart, the following must apply: 12)Draft contract between exporter, importer and destructor; 13) While importing hazardous waste, the transit certification must be signed before sending to the destructor. 3.2 Obligations of hazardous waste generators.
