Know what's in your waste

Growing industrial output and stricter environmental regulations demand accurate waste classification you can rely on. Our hazardous waste testing helps facilities identify heavy metals, organic compounds and other scheduled waste constituents, ensuring safe management and disposal in full compliance with Malaysian regulations.

The Eurofins network of companies in Malaysia conducts hazardous waste determinations annually, in compliance with the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. The data produced helps clients determine proper waste management and disposal practices.

Testing covers solid, liquid, and other hazardous waste materials, including:

  • SW1 – Metal and metal-bearing wastes
  • SW2 – Wastes containing principally inorganic constituents, which may contain metals and organic materials
  • SW3 – Wastes containing principally organic constituents, which may contain metals and inorganic materials
  • SW4 – Wastes which may contain either inorganic or organic constituents
  • SW5 – Other wastes

Our scheduled waste analysis covers a comprehensive range of parameters:

Physical & chemical properties

  • Reactivity

  • pH

  • Boiling point (initial and final)

  • Moisture / water content

  • Specific gravity

  • Kinematic viscosity

  • Flash point

  • Gross and net calorific value

Elemental & compound analysis

  • Heavy metals

  • TOC (total organic carbon)

  • Cyanide

  • Total hydrocarbon content

  • Sulphur & halogens (Cl, Br, F)

  • Phenol / formaldehyde

  • Chlorophenol

  • Hydrogen peroxide

  • Aldehyde

  • Glycols

  • Total epoxide

  • Organometallic compounds (tetraethyl lead, tetramethyl lead & organotin compounds)

Regulatory leaching tests

  • TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure)

  • TTLC (total threshold limit concentration)

  • STLC (soluble threshold limit concentration)
