Regulation No. 19 of the Ministry of Environment that sets the categories of waste and waste catalogue

19 Regulation of the Ministry of Environment dated 4th December, 1995 that sets the categories of waste and the Waste Catalogue The Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic after the agreement with the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Slovak Republic, according to the Article 13 par. 2 of the Act No. 238/1991 of the Coll. on waste in wording of the Act of the Slovak National Council No. 255/1993 enacts as follows: Article 1 The classification of waste 1. The waste is classified according to the Waste Catalogue given in the Annex No. 1 of the Regulation into categories and quality groups, each of them is designated with a five-figures code. 2. The individual waste quality groups are classified into a. main groups with double-figure code; b. groups with single-figure code; c. subgroups with triple-figure code. 1. The waste is divided into following categories: a. the hazardous waste, marked with the letter N; b. the separate waste, marked with the letter Z; c. other waste, marked with the letter O. 1. The waste contained at the Waste Catalogue arranged according to its origin and management conditions and the hazardous waste also according to their qualities or its pollutant content, respectively, that determine or may implicate its hazard. The qualities of waste causing its hazardousness (hereinafter only ”the hazardous qualities”) are given in the Annex No. 2 of the Regulation. 2. The pollutant, as a rule, is the compound having one or more hazardous qualities and being contained in the waste in amounts or concentrations, that may be a reason for the mayhem of humans, death or injury to their tangible property or environment. The list of pollutants is given in the Annex No. 3 of the Regulation. 3. If such a waste consists of several components the classification code shall be determined for it according to the most hazardous component with respect to the human health, the tangible property or the environment, respectively. 4. If such a waste may not be classified according to the Waste Catalogue the classification code shall be determined as for the waste being most close to its qualities or origin. The waste having at least one hazardous quality shall always be classified as the hazardous waste. Article 2 The repealing stipulations The measure of the Federal Committee for Environment that sets up the Waste Categorisation and Catalogue, published in the Journal No. 69/1991 of the Coll., is hereby repealed. Article 3 Coming into force The Regulation came into force on 1st February 1996. Jozef Zlocha, sign manual.

PROPERTIES CAUSING HAZARDEOUSNESS OF WASTE (”HAZARDEOUS PROPERTIES”) ; 1. Explosiveness An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste (or mixture of substances or waste), which by itself is capable of a chemical reaction producing gas of such temperature and pressure and at such speed that it can cause damage to the environment. 2. Combustibility of liquids The term combustibility has the same meaning as flammability. Combustible liquids are liquids or mixtures of liquids or as the case may be liquids containing solid substances in the solution or in the suspension, which evolve combustible vapours at temperatures not exceeding 60,5°C during the test in a closed crubicle and not exceeding 65,6°C during a test in an open crubicle. 3. Combustibility of solids Solids or waste solids other than those classified as explosives, which under conditions in which they are exposed are easily flammable or can cause fire or as the case may be can support the fire by friction. 4. The ability of substances or waste to be set alight by themselves Substances or waste which are capable to be heated by themselves or in contact with air under normal conditions to which they are exposed and therefore they can be set alight by themselves. 5. The ability of substances or waste to evolve flammable gases in contact with water Substances or waste which in reaction with water are apt to be set alight by themselves or to release flammable gases in hazardous volume. 6. Oxidation capability Substances or waste , which themselves need not be flammable but support burning of other materials particularly as an oxygen source. 7. Thermal activity of organic peroxides Thermally active organic substances or waste containing peroxidic bond (-O-O-), which can be subject to exothermic self speeding decomposition. 8. Acute toxicity (poisonousness) Substances or waste, which can be detrimental to the health of people or can cause their death if they are used or inhaled or in direct contact with the skin. 9. Chronical toxicity (poisonousness) and belated effect Substances or waste, which can evoke belated or chronical effects inclusive carcinogenity, if they are inhaled or used or if they penetrate the skin. 10. Capability of substances to evolve poisoneous gases in contact with air or water Substances or waste which by reaction with air or with water evolve poisonous gases in hazardous amount. 11. Causticity, corrodibility Substances or waste, which by chemical activity can cause such damage of live tissue in contact with it, damaging or destroying of the thing. 12. Infectivity Substances or waste containing live micro-organisms or their toxins, about which it is known or they are suspicious to evoke diseases of animals and people. 13. Ecotoxicity Substances or waste, which after release represent or can represent immediate or belated danger as a result of unfavourable load of the environment by biological accumulation or by poisonous effects on biotic systems. 14. Consequential danger Substances or waste capable in whichever way to evolve water lies detrimental for the environment during their disposal by depositing 15. Radioactivity Radioactivity is a property of substances or waste or facilities, with contents of radionuclides, to radiate some forms of ionising radiation, which can cause serious damage to the health of people or other live organisms or their death. Ionising radiation is understood to be particularly radiation alpha, beta and gamma radiation by radinuclides. ANNEX NO. 3 of the Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic No. 19/1996 Coll.
