[This also means that the CHIP 4 Regulation 2009 [5] will need to be repealed in 2015 as it enacts the two European directives mentioned above.]
Of particular relevance to waste classification and WM2 is Table 3.2 of Annex VI of the CLP.
This table is the primary data source for the risk phrases and other attributes for more than 4000 substances.
Note that since the CLP Regulation was first published, it has been amended by six Adaptations to Technical Progress (ATPs).
WM2 is a detailed technical guide for the classification and assessment of wastes that may or may not be hazardous.
While classifications can be done by hand or via custom built spreadsheets, these approaches are time consuming, difficult to maintain and to audit.
The introduction of commercial software in 2010 allowed users to concentrate on what is in the waste rather than how to carry out the calculations.
