As a company that generates hazardous waste, you and the companies involved in its disposal must provide evidence of proper disposal and keep the necessary verification documents, both to each other and to the competent authorities.

As a waste-generating company, you must provide proof of disposal even before the start of disposal in order to demonstrate the permissibility of the planned type of disposal.

The competent authority must confirm the permissibility of the disposal before the disposal begins.

The obligation to confirm the proof of disposal does not apply in the so-called privileged procedure. This applies to the following companies:

• disposal facilities that are certified as specialised waste management companies or
• Disposal facilities that belong to a company entered in the EMAS register or
• Waste management facilities that have been exempted from the confirmation obligation by the competent authority upon request.

In the privileged procedure, disposal can begin immediately after the proof of disposal has been sent to the competent authority.
