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 therefore 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 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 premises in England, which produced or had removed hazardous waste, to register with the Environment Agency (EA). The requirement for all premises in Wales to register with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has not been affected by this revocation and as such, this Practice Note primarily addresses the registration requirements in Wales.
