We are happy to assist you with the correct classification and categorization of your products or waste from a wide range of production areas. Through comprehensive analyses in the field of environmental and material analysis, we can determine the chemical and physical properties and provide you with individual, specialist assessments or evaluations.
Substances and mixtures are classified according to their water-polluting properties through comprehensive analysis and the corresponding derivation of the so-called Water Hazard Class (WHC). These are categorized into:
Non-hazardous to water (nwg)
WGK 1: slightly hazardous to water
WGK 2: hazardous to water
WGK 3: highly hazardous to water
Generally hazardous to water (awg)
