Characterization of waste - On-site verification
This Technical Report gives guidance on the strategy for on-site verification and quality control of waste at landfills. It describes methods of visual inspection, control of documents and choice of necessity of testing by either screening methods or reference methods. It gives guidance on sampling, sample preparation and extraction for analysis.
The same procedures may be useful for on-site verification and quality control of waste at treatment plants.
Charakterisierung von Abfällen - Vor-Ort-Prüfung
Dieser Technische Bericht gibt eine Anleitung für die Strategie für die Vor Ort Prüfung und die Qualitätskontrolle von Abfällen auf Deponien. Er beschreibt Verfahren der Sichtkontrolle, der Kontrolle der Dokumente und der Wahl der Notwendigkeit der Prüfung entweder mit Screening Verfahren oder mit Referenzverfahren. Er gibt Hinweise zur Probenahme, Probenherstellung und zu Extraktionsverfahren.
Die gleichen Verfahrensweisen können für die Vor Ort Prüfung und die Qualitätskontrolle von Abfällen bei Aufbereitungsanlagen zweckmäßig sein.
Caractérisation des déchets - Vérification in situ
Le présent Rapport technique indique la stratégie à suivre pour la vérification in situ et le contrôle qualité des déchets arrivant en décharge. Il décrit les méthodes de contrôle visuel des déchets, de contrôle des documents et de choix de la méthode d’essai (méthodes de dépistage ou méthodes de référence).

Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16130:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 292
“Characterization of waste”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.

Introduction
According to the Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC) and Landfill Decision (2003/33/EC) general characterisation
and testing of waste should be based on the following three-level hierarchy:
Level 1: Basic characterisation. This constitutes a thorough determination, according to standardised analysis
and behaviour-testing methods, of the short and long-term leaching behaviour and/or characteristic properties
of the waste.
Level 2: Compliance testing. This constitutes periodical testing by simpler standardised analysis and
behaviour-testing methods to determine whether a waste complies with permit conditions and/or specific
reference criteria. The tests focus on key variables and behaviour identified by basic characterisation.
Level 3: On-site verification. This constitutes rapid check methods to confirm that a waste is the same as that
which has been subjected to compliance testing and that which is described in the accompanying documents.
It may merely consist of a visual inspection of a load of waste before and after unloading at the landfill site.
A particular type of waste should normally be characterised at Level 1 and pass the appropriate criteria in
order to be accepted on a site specific reference list. In order to remain on this list, a particular type of waste
should be tested at regular intervals (e.g. annually) be tested at Level 2 and pass the appropriate criteria.
Each waste load arriving at the gate of a landfill should be subjected to Level 3 verification. Procedures for
basic characterisation and compliance testing are defined in the Landfill Decision, as they have to guarantee
the compliance with limit values. Several standards have been developed so far for the first two steps of waste
characterisation including sampling, sample preparation, extraction steps and analysis of waste samples. This
Technical Report describes the procedures for on-site verification. Testing for on-site verification is left rather
open in the Landfill Decision:
On-site verification
Each load of waste delivered to a landfill should be visually inspected before and after unloading. The required
documentation should be checked.
For waste deposited by the waste producer at a landfill in his control, this verification maybe made at the point
of dispatch.
The waste maybe accepted at the landfill, if it is the same as that which has been subjected to basic
characterisation and compliance testing and which is described in the accompanying documents. If this is not
the case, the waste should not be accepted. Member States should determine the testing requirements for on-
site verification, including where appropriate rapid test methods. Upon delivery, samples shall be taken
periodically. The samples taken should be kept after acceptance of the waste for a period that will be
determined by the Member State (not less than one month; see Article 11(b) of the Landfill Directive).
On-site verification will not only be performed at landfill sites but also at every other site, where waste is
handled, sorted or treated. In this TR general advice for on-site verification including sampling and sample
preparation and possible extraction procedures are described. For the testing of the waste normally easy to
handle and fast methods are necessary. The criteria for selection of test methods are described in
prEN 16123.
1 Scope
This Technical Report gives guidance on the strategy for on-site verification and quality control of waste at
landfills. It describes methods of visual inspection, control of documents and choice of necessity of testing by
either screening methods or reference methods. It gives reference on sampling, sample preparation and
extraction procedures.
The same procedures may be useful for on-site verification and quality control of waste at treatment plants.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply:
3.1
on-site verification
third level of inspection according to the Landfill Directive and Landfill Decision to ensure that the waste
accepted at a landfill is the same as described in the accompanying documents and that it is in accordance
with the basic characterisation and/or compliance testing
3.2
screening method
method to quickly obtain data on sample characteristics
3.3
reference method
analytical method with known performance data and usually standardised and/or stipulated by law
4 Principle
This Technical report gives guidance on on-site verification by describing procedures for visual inspection,
control of documents and periodically taking and analysing of samples.
By appropriate checking of the waste before acceptance it shall be ensured that waste is not accepted that
cannot be treated in or disposed at the specific site and that safety precautions are met.
5 Procedure
5.1 Control of documents
Documentation for waste acceptance has to include the following items (see 1013/2006/EC):
Control of the movement documents:
Trans-border movements/shipments EU waste movement documents and/or
country-specific movement documents;
Information and documentation related to notification and/or other country-specific records of proper
waste management;
Results of basic characterisation and/or compliance testing for landfills or treatment plants.
All documents presented have to be checked on their validity and on their plausibility. In addition it shall be
checked that all documents required by national regulations are present. This control shall be documented in
a traceable way therefore the use of a routing slip is recommended.
All information describing the mass and kind of waste as well as the storage location or kind of treatment and
destination of waste accepted at the landfill or treatment plant has to be archived.
5.2 Determination of quantity
The quantity of waste accepted at the landfill or treatment plant has to be determined and documented.
Normally the determination of the mass of the waste transported to a waste site is performed at the entrance
using a weighbridge. In many cases the mass of the waste accepted at the waste site is electronically
recorded.
If weighing is not feasible, volume determination may be used to enable calculation of the mass.
5.3 Visual inspection
Every batch of waste delivered to the waste site has to be inspected by visual inspection before and after
unloading. During visual inspection colour, shape, grain size and consistency of the waste will be inspected. If
detected, characteristic smell will be documented.
A first visual inspection shall be done at the entrance of the waste site and
