Scope of Practice Note

The Hazardous waste (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/336 revoked Part 5 of the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005, SI 2005/894, which removed the requirement for any premise in England, which produced or had removed hazardous waste, to register with the Environment Agency.

The requirement for premises in Wales to register with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has not been affected by this revocation and as such this Practice Note addresses the registration requirements in Wales.

The List of Wastes (England) Regulations 2005, SI 2005/895 were revoked by the Hazardous Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2015, SI 2015/1360 on 1 July 2015, which also amended in England the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005, SI 2005/894.

The List of Wastes (Wales) Regulations 2005 were also revoked by the Hazardous Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) Regulations 2015, SI 2015/1417. The list of hazardous waste refers to the European List of Waste originally established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, which is revised regularly on the basis of new knowledge
