LIST OF HAZARDOUS CHARACTERISTICS
UN CODE CHARACTERISTICS CLASS
UN
CLASS
CODE CHARACTERISTICS
1 HI Explosive
An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste
(or mixture of substances or wastes) which is in itself capable by
chemical reaction or producing gas at such a temperature and pressure
and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.
3 H3 Flammable Liquids
The word “flammable” has the same meaning as “inflammable”.
Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids
containing solids in solution or suspension (for example paints,
varnishes, lacquers and others but not including substances or wastes
otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics)
which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than
60.5ºC, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6ºC open-cup test (since
the results of open-cup tests and closed-up tests are not strictly
comparable and even individual results by the same tests are often
variable, regulations varying from the above figures to make
allowance for such difference would be within the spirit of this
definition).
4.1 H4.1 Flammable Solids
Solids or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, which
under conditions encountered in transport are readily combustible, or
may cause or contribute to fire through friction.
4.2 H4.2
Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion
Substance or wastes which are liable to spontaneous heating under
normal conditions encountered in transport or to heating up on tract
with air, and being then liable to catch fire.
4.3 H4.3 Substances or wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable
gases; substances or wastes which, by interaction with water, are
liable to become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable
gases in dangerous quantities.
5.1 H5.1 Oxiding
Substances or wastes which, while in themselves not necessary
combustible, may generally, by yielding oxygen, cause or contribute
to the combustion of other materials.
5.2 H5.2
Organic Peroxides Organic substances or wastes which contain the
bivalent 0-0-structure are thermally unstable substances which may
undergo exothermic self accelerating decomposition.
6.1 H6.1
Toxic or Poisonous (Acute)
Substances or wastes liable either to cause death or serious injury to
the human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact.
6.2 H6.2
Infectious substances extremely hazardous to health
Substances or wastes containing viable micro-organisms or their
toxins which are known or suspected to cause disease in animals or
humans.
8 H8 Corrosives
Substances or wastes which, by chemical action, will cause severe
damage when in contact with living tissue, or in the case of leakage
will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods in the means of
transport; they may also cause other hazards.
9 9.H10 Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water
Substances or wastes which by interaction with air or water, are liable
to give out toxic gases in dangerous quantities.
9 H11 Toxic (delayed or chronic)
Substances or wastes which, by interaction with air or water, are liable
to give out toxic gases in dangerous quantities.
Substances or wastes which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they
penetrate through the skin may involve delayed or chronic effects,
including carcinogenicity.
9 H12 Ecotoxic
Substances or wastes which, if released present or may present
immediate or delayed adverse impacts to the environment by means
of bio-accumulation and/or toxic effects upon biotic systems.
9 H13 Capable, by means, after disposal, of yielding another material e.g.
leachate which possesses any of the characteristics listed above.
10 H14 Radioactive waste
11 H15 Persistent waste; waste which contaminate the environment for long
periods of time.
12 H16 Carcinogenic wastes which may lead to development of cancer in
human beings or animals.

(Regulation 22)
LIST OF HAZARDOUS CHARACTERISTICS
UN CODE CHARACTERISTICS CLASS
UN
CLASS
CODE CHARACTERISTICS
1 HI Explosive
An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste
(or mixture of substances or wastes) which is in itself capable by
chemical reaction or producing gas at such a temperature and pressure
and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.
3 H3 Flammable Liquids
The word “flammable” has the same meaning as “inflammable”.
Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids
containing solids in solution or suspension (for example paints,
varnishes, lacquers and others but not including substances or wastes
otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics)
which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than
60.5ºC, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6ºC open-cup test (since
the results of open-cup tests and closed-up tests are not strictly
comparable and even individual results by the same tests are often
variable, regulations varying from the above figures to make
allowance for such difference would be within the spirit of this
definition).
4.1 H4.1 Flammable Solids
Solids or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, which
under conditions encountered in transport are readily combustible, or
may cause or contribute to fire through friction.
4.2 H4.2
Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion
Substance or wastes which are liable to spontaneous heating under
normal conditions encountered in transport or to heating up on tract
with air, and being then liable to catch fire.
4.3 H4.3 Substances or wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable
gases; substances or wastes which, by interaction with water, are
liable to become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable
gases in dangerous quantities.
5.1 H5.1 Oxiding
Substances or wastes which, while in themselves not necessary
combustible, may generally, by yielding oxygen, cause or contribute
to the combustion of other materials.
5.2 H5.2
Organic Peroxides Organic substances or wastes which contain the
bivalent 0-0-structure are thermally unstable substances which may
undergo exothermic self accelerating decomposition.
6.1 H6.1
Toxic or Poisonous (Acute)
Substances or wastes liable either to cause death or serious injury to
the human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact.
6.2 H6.2
Infectious substances extremely hazardous to health
Substances or wastes containing viable micro-organisms or their
toxins which are known or suspected to cause disease in animals or
humans.
8 H8 Corrosives
Substances or wastes which, by chemical action, will cause severe
damage when in contact with living tissue, or in the case of leakage
will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods in the means of
transport; they may also cause other hazards.
9 9.H10 Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water

TENTH SCHEDULE
(Regulation 47)
STANDARDS FOR WASTE AUTOCLAVING
The autoclave should be indicated for the purposes of disinfecting and treating bio-medical
waste,
I. When operating a gravity flow autoclave, medical shall be subjected to:
a temperature of not less than 121oC and pressure of 15 pounds per square inch (psi) for an
autoclave residence time of not less than 60 minutes; or
a temperature of not less than 135oC and a pressure of 31 psi for an autoclave residence
time of not less than 45 minutes; or
a temperature of not less than 149oC and a pressure of 52 psi for an autoclave residence
time of not less than 30 minutes
II. When operating a vacuum autoclave, medical waste shall be subjected to a minimum
of one pre-vacuum pulse to purge the autoclave of all air. The waste shall be subjected
to the following:
a temperature of not less 121oC and a pressure of 15 psi per autoclave residence
time of not less than 45 minutes; or
a temperature of not less than 135oC and a pressure of 31 psi for an autoclave
residence time of not less than 30 minutes;
III. Medical waste shall not be considered properly treated unless the time temperature and
pressure indicators indicate that the required time, temperature and pressure were
reached during the autoclave process. If for any reasons, time temperature, pressure or
residence time was not reached, the entire load of medical waste must be autoclaved
again until proper temperature, pressure and residence time were achieved.
IV Recording of operational parameters
Each autoclave shall have graphic or computer recording devices, which will automatically and
continuously monitor and record dates, time of the day, load identification number and
operating parameters throughout the entire length of the autoclave cycle.
V Validation test
Spore testing:
The autoclave should completely and consistently kill biological indicator at the maximum
design capacity of each autoclave unit. Biological indicator for autoclave shall be Bacillus
stearothermophilus spore using vials or spore strips, with at least 1 x 104 spores per milliliter.
Under no circumstances will an autoclave have minimum operating parameters less than a
residence time 30 minutes, regardless of temperature and pressure, a temperature less than
121oC or pressure less than 15 psi.
VI Routine Test
A chemical indicator strip/tape that changes colour when a certain temperature is reached can
be used to verify that a specific temperature has been achieved. It may be necessary to use
more than one strip over the waste package at different location to ensure that the inner content
of the package has been adequately autoclaved.
STANDARDS FOR LIQUID WASTE
The effluent generated from the hospital should conform to the following limits:
PARAMETERS PERMISSIBLE LIMITS
pH 6.5-9.8.5
Suspended solids 100 mg/l
Oil and grease Nil
BOD 30 mg/l
COD 50 mg/l
Bio-assay test 90% survival of fish after 96 hours in
100% effluent
These limits are applicable to those hospitals, which are either connected with sewers without
terminal sewage treatment plant or not connected to sewage. For discharge into public sewers
with terminal facilities, the general standards as notified under the Environmental Management
and Co-ordination (Water Quality) Regulations 2006 shall be applicable.
STANDARDS FOR MICROWAVING
Microwave treatment shall not be used for cytotoxic, hazardous or radioactive wastes,
contaminated animal carcasses, body parts and large metal items.
The microwave system shall comply with the efficacy test/routine tests and a performance
guarantee may be provided by the supplier before operation of the unit.
The microwave should completely and consistently kill the bacteria and other pathogenic
organisms that is ensured by approved biological indicator at the maximum design
capacity of each microwave unit. Biological indicators for microwave shall be
Bacillus subtilis spores using vials strips with at least 1 x 104 spores per milliliter.
STANDARDS FOR DEEP BURIAL
A pit trench should be dug about 2 metres deep. It should be filled with waste, and then
covered with lime within 50 cm of the surface, before filling the rest of the pit with
soil.
It must be ensured that animals do not have any access to burial sites. Covers of
galvanized iron/wire meshes may be used.
On each occasion, when wastes are added to the pit, a layer of 10 cm of soil shall be added
to cover the wastes.
Burial must be performed under close and dedicated supervision.
The deep burial site should be relatively impermeable, and no shallow well should be close
to the site.
The pits should be distant from habitation, and sited so as to ensure that no contamination
occurs of any surface water or groundwater. The area should not be prone to
flooding or erosion.
7. The Authority will authorize the location of the deep burial site.
8. The institution shall maintain a record of all pits for deep burial.
