Canadian Standards Association Definition of Household Hazardous Waste September 2003 1 Z752-03 Definition of Household Hazardous Waste 0 Introduction 0.1 General This introduction is an integral component of this Standard. It provid

16、es important background information and describes the context for the Standard. 0.2 Background Typically less than 1% of the domestic waste stream includes unused and residual domestic products and waste by-products that are called household hazardous waste (HHW) because of general concerns about th

17、eir potential impact on human safety or the environment on disposal. In many areas, programs have been established to divert these materials from the regular domestic waste stream and the environment. In comparison to the disposal of the bulk of domestic waste, these programs require a much higher l

18、evel of investment. An accurate definition of HHW is critical to (a) the effectiveness and efficiency of diversion programs; (b) preventing truly deleterious materials from entering the environment; and (c) ensuring that the limited resources available for waste reduction, diversion, and recycling a

19、re directed to managing as HHW only those wastes that present significant risks to human health or the environment on disposal. This Standard is subject to revision, through the CSA process, in light of advances in science and knowledge, and changes in waste categories and public behaviour. 0.3 Appl

20、ication This Standard provides the foundation for a comprehensive and proactive approach to managing HHW. This criteria-based definition primarily describes to manufacturers what is and is not included in the definition of HHW. This Standard also allows for the subsequent development of a communicat

21、ion system for identifying those household products that are HHW on disposal. The development of a consistent message to consumers and clear disposal instructions, in turn, is expected to motivate consumers to reduce the generation of HHW and motivate manufacturers to change formulating and packagin

22、g decisions in order to reduce the generation of HHW. The desired result is positive behavioural changes, on the part of manufacturers and consumers, that reduce risk and result in improved human and environmental health, and improvements to the effectiveness and efficiency of current HHW programs.

23、0.4 Process of Defining HHW Criteria The process of defining criteria for HHW is by its very nature one of risk assessment. The general risk assessment process used is represented by the following expression: Hazard *Exposure Risk Based on this expression, the risk resulting from the disposal of a s

24、pecific material is a function of any hazard associated with the material, as well as the likelihood of human or environmental exposure to the material (based on the applicable route of exposure or disposal method). The criteria in this Standard have been developed based on an assessment of risks an

25、d on a review of relevant legislation, regulations, standards, and codes. As a practical way of addressing the human and Z752-03 Canadian Standards Association 2 September 2003 environmental safety of domestic wastes, previously established criteria were adopted whenever they were deemed to be appli

26、cable to domestic waste management. For example, (a) the criteria used to establish the workplace hazardous material information system (WHMIS) labelling were thought to provide a reasonable indication of potential risk to workers during collection and disposal of waste; (b) criteria for corrosivity

27、 were adopted from the federal Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations (CCCR); and (c) criteria for inhalation toxicity were adopted from the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR). This criteria-based definition process is illustrated in Figure 1. CriteriaDefinitionContr

29、finition Process 0.5 Relationship of This Standard to Other Initiatives and Documents This Standard defines hazardous wastes generated by households. This Standard is in no way intended to supplant or circumvent any existing or future provincial or territorial regulations or municipal by-laws on was

30、te or hazardous waste. Figure 2 highlights the life cycle stage addressed by this Standard and lists other guidance documents applicable to domestic products. Canadian Standards Association Definition of Household Hazardous Waste September 2003 3 PRODUCTDEVELOPMENTit is critical to the general reade

31、rs understanding of the Standard as it details the references and rationales used to determine the criteria described in Clause 7. Annex D provides a bibliography. 1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard defines those household wastes that present significant risks to humans or the environment when dispos

32、ed of in one or more systems within the regular domestic waste stream. This Standard can be used to (a) guide product development; (b) develop communication programs to inform the public about which materials are HHW and how to dispose of them properly; (c) assist in the development and encouragemen

33、t of product stewardship programs; and (d) guide the collection and disposal of HHW. This Standard is based on commonly accepted practices, codes, standards, and regulations used in Canada. Z752-03 Canadian Standards Association 4 September 2003 1.2 Exclusions This Standard is not wholly applicable

34、in some cases where a waste management system fails to comply with minimum requirements of applicable standards or regulations. This Standard does not (a) provide disposal recommendations or specific labelling requirements regarding the categories of wastes it describes; (b) provide guidance on the

35、packaging, use, or storage of domestic products within the household; (c) address waste management systems that are outside of the regular domestic waste stream (e.g., industry product stewardship programs, special household waste collection programs); (d) cover occupational hazards associated with

36、the management of materials in HHW programs; (e) specifically address the unauthorized or illegal disposal of materials (e.g., materials disposed of in municipal storm sewers); and (f) cover substances that are used in occupational contexts. 2 Reference Publications This Standard refers to the follo
