Annex 4
List of Hazardous Properties:
UN Class UN Number Properties
1 H1 Explosive Substance
An explosive substance is a solid or liquid substance (or mixture of substances or wastes) capable of producing by chemical reaction gas at a
temperature and pressure sufficient to cause damage to the surroundings.
3 H3 Flammable Liquids
The terms "Flammable" and "Inflammable" are synonymous and mean "capable of being ignited." Flammable liquids are liquids or mixtures of liquids or
liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (such as various paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., excluding materials or wastes classified differently
due to their hazardous properties) that give off flammable vapors at temperatures not exceeding 60.5 °C in a closed-cup test or not exceeding 65.6 °C in
an open-cup test. (As the results of open-cup tests and closed-cup tests are not entirely symmetrical and individual results of the same test often vary,
any system that deviates from the two mentioned figures in order to account for such variations would be consistent with the spirit of this definition.)
4.1 H4.1 Solid Flammable Materials
Solid flammable materials refer to solid substances or solid waste, excluding those classified as explosives, that are capable of burning under conditions
encountered during transportation or that may cause or contribute to the ignition of a fire through friction.
4.2 H4.2 Materials or Waste Susceptible to Spontaneous Combustion

Materials or waste susceptible to spontaneous combustion are those that can heat up spontaneously under normal conditions encountered during
transportation or upon contact with air, thereby becoming capable of ignition.
4.3 H4.3 Materials or Waste Releasing Flammable Gases Upon Contact with Water
These are materials or waste that are prone to becoming spontaneously flammable or releasing flammable gases in hazardous quantities upon reacting
with water.
5.1 H5.1 Oxidizing Agents

Oxidizing agents are substances or waste materials that may not necessarily be combustible themselves, but generally contribute to or cause the
combustion of other materials by producing oxygen.
5.2 H5.2 Organic Peroxides
Organic peroxides are organic substances or waste materials containing a dimeric structure (-O-O-) that are thermally unstable and may undergo rapid
self-accelerating decomposition when exposed to heat.
6.1 H6.1 Toxic Substances (Acute Toxicants)
Toxic substances, also known as acute toxicants, are materials or waste products capable of causing death, serious harm, or damage to human health if
ingested, inhaled, or come into contact with the skin.
6.2 H6.2 Infectious Substances
Infectious substances are materials or waste products containing microorganisms capable of life or their toxins known to cause disease in humans or
animals or having the potential to cause such disease.
8 H8 Corrosive Substances
Corrosive substances are materials or waste products that, through a chemical reaction, cause severe damage, which may or may not be treatable,
upon contact with living tissue. They can also lead, if leaked, to fundamental damage to other goods, means of transport, or even their destruction, and
may also pose other risks.
9 H10 Materials Releasing Toxic Gases upon Contact with Air or Water
These are materials or waste products that can release toxic gases in hazardous quantities when they react with air or water.
9 H11 Toxic Substances (with Delayed or Chronic Effects)
These are substances or waste materials that, when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, may cause delayed or chronic effects, including the
development of cancer.
9 H12 Toxic Substances for the Environment
These are substances or waste materials that, upon release, may cause immediate or delayed damage to the environment due to their accumulation in
living organisms and/or their toxic effects on ecosystems.
9 H13 Transformable Materials
These are materials capable, through a process, of producing another substance after disposal. Examples include materials that may result from
leaching and exhibit any of the properties listed above.
The classification system of hazardous materials outlined in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Rev.5/11/AC.10/SG/ST, United Nations, New York, 1988) is
similar to the one described above.
Tests:
The potential risks posed by certain types of waste have not yet been fully documented, and there are no objective tests to quantitatively determine these risks. Further research is necessary to
devise means of identifying potential risks of these wastes to humans and/or the environment. Standardized tests have been developed for pure substances. Many member countries have established
national tests that can be applied to the substances listed in Annex I to determine whether these substances exhibit any of the properties listed in this annex.
