What is EWC code 18 01 02?
18 01 02 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for body parts and organs including blood bags and blood preserves (except 18 01 03). It sits in chapter 18 (wastes from human or animal health care and/or related research (except kitchen and restaurant wastes not arising from immediate health care)). 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 non-hazardous waste code. Transfers need a waste transfer note, which both parties must keep for at least 2 years.
