What is EWC code 18 01 03?

18 01 03 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for wastes whose collection and disposal is subject to special requirements in order to prevent infection. 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 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.
