What is EWC code 03 02 03?
03 02 03 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for organometallic wood preservatives. It sits in chapter 03 (wastes from wood processing and the production of panels and furniture, pulp, paper and cardboard). 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.
