What is EWC code 05 01 06?

05 01 06 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for oily sludges from maintenance operations of the plant or equipment. It sits in chapter 05 (wastes from petroleum refining, natural gas purification and pyrolytic treatment of coal). 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.
