- What does this mean in practice?
- This is the official classification for laboratory chemicals, consisting of or containing hazardous substances, including mixtures of laboratory chemicals. Because this is a hazardous waste (indicated by the asterisk in the official catalogue), it requires specialised handling, consignment notes, and cannot be mixed with general waste.
