National definition of hazardous waste

“Waste that maintains its toxic, explosive and combusting properties, or its capability to cause corrosion, or having radiation activity of more than 100 Becquerels per gramme, and which by its nature, formulation, quantities or otherwise poses a risk to human health and life, or to the environment, whether by itself or as a result of its contact with other waste”. (This is the English translation of the official version, which is in Arabic, from the new Royal Decree 114/2001 dated December 2001 and this provides update to the original Law which was issued in 1982).
