When waste or material has been classed as hazardous or non-hazardous, it can be assessed using WAC testing.
The classification suite can hopefully treat or reuse material, but the last resort would be to send the waste to landfill. If it must be disposed of, the WAC test tells you which landfill you can send your waste to.
We offer WAC testing in accordance with BS EN 12457 under the 4 main WAC suites:
The Full Suite covers the testing required for the other 3 suites.
Once you’ve taken your sample, contact our team to arrange collection and we’ll deliver the sample to our laboratory.
Samples are prepared and analysed by our team of experts in accordance with the requirements set out by UKAS.
A certificate of analysis will be sent containing the findings from the test carried out. Reports are issued in Excel and PDF, but can also be supplied in other formats.
Our laboratories are accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to the British, European and International Standard for quality assurance in analytical laboratories – BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Many of the tests we provide are also accredited by UKAS. View the UKAS schedules.
Reports are sent out by Excel and PDF as standard. We can also supply reports in AGS, HWOL (Haz Waste Online), ESdat and CSV if requested.
The use of correct sampling containers is crucial for preserving the integrity of the samples and complying with UKAS requirements regarding deviating (or non-conforming samples). Contact your account manager for more information and to order the correct container for your sample.
