End of Waste Testing

Accurate, independent testing of materials for removal offsite, reuse on site, or reuse on another site, to Irish and European standards.

BHP Laboratories is the largest independent materials testing laboratory in Ireland providing a wide range of engineering & scientific measuring, testing and analysing services to numerous industries throughout Ireland and the UK. We provide a comprehensive range of sampling and testing solutions for the construction industry. This includes a combination of site and laboratory sampling, testing, and advising services.

Our testing focuses on the classification of these materials and assessment of the relevant standards.

End of waste testing is the chemical and physical evaluation of treated waste to prove it has been fully recovered and is safe to be used as a raw material or product. When materials pass this testing, they lose their legal classification as waste and can be sold and handled like normal products.

Classification of the Test Constituents of Coarse Recycled Aggregate (EN 933-11) – EPA Specification Table 4
