Scheduled waste characteristic
A waste is considered hazardous if it has one or more of the following
characteristic:
12
Chapter 7: Scheduled Waste
7.1 Legal & Administrative Systems for
Scheduled Waste Control
Scheduled waste characteristic: Ignitability
2 Spontaneously combustible.
If the waste is a liquid and has flash point less than 60°C as
3 determined by a Pensky-Marten closed cup tester or a Setaflash
closed cup tester.
If the waste is not liquid but is capable under standard temperature and
pressure, causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture or
4 spontaneous chemical changes and when ignited, burn so vigorously
and persistently that creates hazard.
6 It is an oxidizer.

Scheduled waste characteristic: Ignitability
Example Ignitability:
Code: SW322
Description: Waste of non-
halogenated organic solvents
Example of waste: spent
benzene
Typical source: production of
styrene Chapter 7: Scheduled Waste

Scheduled waste characteristic: Reactive
Waste that readily explode, If the waste is normally
undergo violent reaction, or unstable and readily
react to release toxic gases undergoes violent changes
or fumes. without denoting.
Example Reactive:
Code: SW104

Scheduled waste characteristic: Toxicity
Waste is hazardous by virtue of the toxicity
characteristic if it exceeds specified
concentrations of certain metals and
organic compounds as listed by reference
in regulations.
Example Toxicity:
Code: SW204
Description: Sludge containing one
or several metals including
chromium, copper, nickel, zinc. Lead,
cadmium, aluminium, tin, vanadium
and beryllium.
Example of waste: sludge from IETS.
Typical source: sludge dewatering
and pressing process. 20

Scheduled waste characteristic: Infectious or Pathogenic
Example Infectious or
Pathogenic:
Code: SW404
Description: Pathogenic waste,
clinical wastes or quarantine
materials.
Example of waste: used syringes,
swabs or human tissues.
Typical source: Hospital and clinics. 22

Scheduled waste Identification
HOW TO IDENTIFY/ CLASSIFY?
Waste generator is responsible to classify the SW
generated.
SW can be classified by obtaining the
information on:
i. how the waste is generated.
ii. the raw materials used.
iii. the source of the waste and/or its specific.
hazardous characteristics in the related process.
iv. Physical and chemical composition of the waste.
v. SDS-safety data sheet of the raw materials used.
The waste generator can use these information to
classify the waste and the specific SW code. 23
