Waste key number

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The waste code number (ASN) is used to classify waste on the basis of the Waste Catalog Ordinance . It is made up of six digits made up of three pairs of numbers:

  • 12 xx xx generation branch 12
  • 12 34 xx industry-typical process 34
  • 12 34 56 numerical listing 56

The six-digit waste code has officially existed since January 1, 1999, and came into force on January 1, 2002; previously there were five positions in Germany. In Austria, ÖNorm S2100 still applies to the classification of waste, which also provides for a five-digit number for the waste.

Examples:

  • 03 03 01 - Bark and wood waste
