Mobile Waste Treatment Facilities – Self-Check

Authorisation holders must, at regular intervals, check their mobile waste treatment facilities for compliance with the requirements set out in the official authorisation and in any other relevant waste regulations. The following should be noted:

• The authorisation holder must have the self-check carried out by an authorised specialist or by an authorised specialist institution
• The self-check must at least comprise an on-site check
• The recurring self-check has to be conducted every five years (subject to any regulations deviating from this principle as set out in the official authorisation or in any other regulations)
• A report has to be prepared on each self-check which mentions any defects/inadequacies that may have been detected
• If a defect/inadequacy has been detected in the framework of the self-check, a copy of the report must be submitted to the competent authority outlining the defects/inadequacies detected and the corrective actions taken to remedy the defects/inadequacies
• The reports on the self-checks and any other documents concerning the self-checks must be kept for at least seven years and have to be presented to the competent authority upon request

section 52 paragraph 7 of the Abfallwirtschaftsgesetz (AWG)

There is no special procedure to be followed.

Every five years a self-check has to be conducted and a report on this check has to be prepared.

The reports on the self-checks and any other documents concerning the self-checks must be kept for at least seven years and have to be presented to the competent authority upon request.
