What is EWC code 12 01 08?

12 01 08 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens. It sits in chapter 12 (wastes from shaping and physical and mechanical surface treatment of metals and plastics). 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.
