What is EWC code 01 03 04?

01 03 04 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for acid-generating tailings from processing of sulphide ore. It sits in chapter 01 (wastes resulting from exploration, mining, quarrying, and physical and chemical treatment of minerals). You use this six-digit code to classify the waste on a waste transfer note, a hazardous waste consignment note, or a Digital Waste Tracking record.

This is a hazardous waste code. Movements of hazardous waste need a hazardous waste consignment note (not an ordinary waste transfer note), and consignment notes must be kept for at least 3 years.
