This index brings together chemical identities from the ILO / WHO International Chemical Safety Cards and the HSE GB mandatory classification and labelling list. Use the names, identifiers and available formulae to compare a product label, safety data sheet or waste inventory with the source record. Separate source entries may describe different forms or concentrations of the same substance. A match confirms only the source identity; it does not establish the composition of the waste, collection availability or a suitable treatment route. HSE identity information contains Crown copyright material reproduced under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
The detailed guides explain properties and waste-assessment points for particular chemicals. A chemical name or CAS number does not, on its own, establish a List of Waste code, packaging requirement, transport classification or receiving-facility acceptance.
Using chemical identity in a waste assessment
Identity is one part of the waste description. Concentration, process history, contamination and container condition can change the assessment even when the original product is known.
Identity: product name, CAS or EC number and the supplier safety data sheet.
Waste status: unused stock, spent process material, mixture or contaminated packaging.
Quantity and condition: amount, concentration, container sizes and container condition.
Process history: how the waste arose, including known additions, contaminants or any available analysis.
