What is an EURAL code?
Eural coding is a classification system for waste materials used in Europe. Eural stands for European Waste Catalogue and includes a standardized list of waste materials with corresponding codes. These codes, also known as Eural codes, are established by the European Union and aim to simplify and harmonize the identification and management of waste materials.
Each Eural code provides information about the type of waste material, the origin, the physical and chemical properties, and the risk of harm to humans and the environment. Companies and organizations use the Eural codes to determine how waste materials should be collected, stored, transported, treated, and disposed of.
In practice, the Eural coding is often used when reporting waste materials, as required by European and national legislation. Companies and organizations must mention the Eural code of the waste materials they produce and dispose of, so that the government and other involved parties can monitor and regulate the waste streams.

Regulations EURAL coding
There are various laws and regulations that may require a Eural coding for scrap, depending on the situation and use of the scrap.
An example is the European Regulation regarding the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restrictions concerning chemical substances (REACH). REACH requires manufacturers and importers of chemical substances to register them with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Prior to registration, the substance must be classified and labeled according to the CLP regulation. If the substance is present in an object, such as in scrap, it may be necessary to identify and classify the object according to the Eural code, to determine the registration obligation of the relevant substance.
Another relevant legislation is the European Regulation regarding the transboundary movement of waste (EVOA). The EVOA regulates the transport and documentation of waste being transferred, including scrap. Sometimes scrap must be classified according to the Eural code, to determine whether it should be considered waste and which procedures for transport and disposal apply.
In the Netherlands, the Eural code may also be required when reporting waste to the National Waste Facility (LMA), as prescribed by the Environmental Management Act and the Decision on reporting business waste and hazardous waste. Companies must then mention the Eural code of the waste when producing and disposing of it.
In short, there are various regulations in which a Eural code for scrap may be required, depending on the application and situation.
The final processor is ultimately responsible
The ultimate processor of the scrap always remains responsible for complying with the laws and regulations regarding the processing of waste materials, even if a research agency has determined the Eural code.
SEEF helps determine the most suitable Eural code for the scrap based on the available information, the research conducted, and our expertise. However, it is important that the processor of the scrap verifies the Eural code themselves and ensures it is correct before the scrap is processed. All generated information will be made available in a report.
If the Eural code determined by the research agency turns out to be incorrect, this can lead to problems in the processing of the scrap, such as fines or delays. Therefore, it is crucial that the determination of the Eural code is carried out carefully and ultimately verified by the processor.
