The threshold values given below generally refer to production capacities or outputs. Where several activities falling under the same activity description containing a threshold are operated in the same installation, the capacities of such activities are added together. For waste management activities, this calculation shall apply at the level of activities 5.1, 5.3(a) and 5.3(b).
The Commission shall establish guidance on:
the relationship between waste management activities described in this Annex and those described in Annexes I and II to Directive 2008/98/EC; and
the interpretation of the term ‘industrial scale’ regarding the description of chemical industry activities described in this Annex.
