Quality of the waste is monitored by the equivalence tests

The waste is accepted on the basis of the basic definition to the landfill, later the test of equivalence to determine whether the waste still complies with the basic definition and the eligibility criteria. Correspondence testing must be carried out whenever the waste process is changed substantially or at least every three years.

Once the landfill status of the waste has been approved on the basis of the basic definition form, it is sufficient for the filling-in of the form to be equivalent for the purpose if the waste process has remained the same.
