Application for notification as an inspection body for the investigation of waste wood in accordance with the Waste Wood Ordinance

    If you want to work as an inspection body for waste wood in waste management, you must be appointed by the competent authority.

    Description

    If you want to check waste wood treatment plants to ensure that waste wood is recycled without damage, you must apply to the competent authority to designate you as the inspection body. The provision applies to the entire federal territory.

    Operators of treatment plants for the processing of waste wood for the production of wood-based panels are obliged to have quarterly investigations carried out on pollutant contents of waste wood. These investigations shall be carried out by independent inspection bodies designated by a central authority. The investigations are to be carried out in accordance with the Waste Wood Ordinance (AltholzV).

    The determination of the inspection bodies takes place on request after a review, which is based on § 6 and Annex II to § 3 paragraph 1 of the Waste Wood Ordinance (AltholzV) and the "Waste Specialist Module". The specialist module regulates the requirements for the quality of examination centres within the framework of the Closed Substance Cycle Management Act (KrWG) and the ordinances based on it. In the specialist module, personnel, operational and technical requirements are defined. The provision is also known as "notification".

    With this provision, the investigating body is obliged, inter alia, to participate annually in the nationwide round robin tests.
