What is EWC code 06 01 05?
06 01 05 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for nitric acid and nitrous acid. It sits in chapter 06 (wastes from inorganic chemical processes). 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.
