Service Description

If you want to work in waste management as an investigation body for investigations into the recycling of biowaste on soils (biowaste treatment, organic waste, soil), you must be appointed by the competent authority.

When recovering bio-waste on soils, for example as compost or digestate, operators of bio-waste treatment plants and for the production of bio-waste mixtures must undergo various tests, including sampling and sample preparation.

These investigations include:

  • one-time study of the process of sanitization of biowaste,
  • regular inspections of untreated, partially treated and treated biowaste for hygiene status,
  • regular testing of untreated, partially treated and treated biowaste as well as mixtures produced with biowaste for heavy metal content, foreign matter content and other parameters,
  • testing, as necessary, of untreated, partially treated and treated bio-waste, as well as mixtures produced with bio-waste, for certain other pollutants;
  • Examination, if necessary, of ordered retained samples of untreated, partially treated and treated biowaste as well as mixtures prepared with biowaste for heavy metal contents, foreign matter contents, other parameters and certain other pollutants,
  • one-off examination of the soil at the first application of untreated, partially treated and treated bio-waste or mixture produced with bio-waste.

Testing bodies, such as laboratories or other specialised bodies, check compliance regularly or as required.

If you want to carry out tests on the recovery of biowaste on soils, you must apply to the competent authority of the country to designate you as the testing body. The provision applies to the entire federal territory.
