1、Designation: E2979 18Standard Classification forDiscarded Materials from Manufacturing Facilities andAssociated Support Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2979; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of rev
2、ision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This standard classifies discarded materials from manu-facturing facilities and associated on-site
3、support facilities.1.2 This classification system is based on classification,location, disposition, and treatment.1.3 This classification does not purport to address or super-sede proper waste disposal required by laws and regulations.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety co
4、ncerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance wit
