WM3 waste classification
Start with the reasoning, then document your own assessment.
WM3 in Plain English
A plain-English walk-through of the WM3 waste classification pathway — source, code, composition, hazards, concentrations, HP1–HP15, POPs, and how it all resolves into a classification. Read this first if you're new to WM3 or want the reasoning behind the form below.
WM3 Assessment Form
A structured, plain-English way to document the evidence behind a waste classification: source through to classification, in your own words. Not an automated classifier, and it doesn't replace a competent assessment against the current WM3 Technical Guidance — it's a record of your reasoning and evidence as you work through it.
