Article I Preliminary

1) Definitions

Basel convention refers to The Basel Convention, in force from May 1992, which controls the international transboundary movements of wastes for both their disposal and recovery. Competent Agency where referenced, refers to the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment or its designated representative.

dangerous goods are goods capable of posing a health, safety or environmental risk. disposal means the discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any waste into or on any land or water so that such waste or any constituent thereof may enter the environment or be emitted into the air or discharged into any waters, including ground waters. generator is a commercial or industrial organisation which produces or stores trackable waste and arranges for this waste to be sent for storage, recycling, treatment or disposal at another location via an authorised transporter. GER refers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabias General Environmental Regulations 2001. hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health and the environment. KSA refers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. ignitability property is the property which identifies wastes that can readily catch fire and sustain combustion. PME refers to the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment who are designated as the responsible authority for the protection of the environment and the development of environmental protection standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PPE means personal protective equipment. Reactivity is defined in Waste Classification Standard.

recovery is where the principal objective is to recover all or part of a waste arising. recycling is the separation and collection of wastes, their subsequent transformation or remanufacture into usable or marketable products or materials and the purchase of products made from recyclable materials. storage is holding waste for a temporary period, after which the waste is treated, disposed of or stored elsewhere. toxicity property is the property which identifies wastes that are likely to leach dangerous concentrations of toxic chemicals into ground water. transboundary movement of waste is the export and import of waste across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabias national boundary. transport unit refers to road transport tanker and freight vehicles, railway transport tanker and freight vehicles and portable tankers. transporter means a person engaged in the off-site transportation of waste by air, rail, highway or water and is anyone who transports the trackable waste from its place of production or storage to another location. treatment is any means or technique of altering the physical, chemical or biological properties of wastes used to neutralize such wastes; utilize substances or energy contained therein or released by them; and transform the hazardous wastes into wastes that are non-hazardous, less hazardous or safer when transported, stored, disposed of, prepared for storage, or reduced in volume. waste handler is a generator, transporter and receiver of waste who has waste responsibilities. waste receiver is any person operating a facility to whom waste is transported for recycling, storage, treatment or disposal. waste tracking is the recording of information from the waste generator about the quantity and type of waste produced; recording information about who transported the waste and when; recording information from the waste receiver about the quantity and type of waste received; and matching information about the waste from both the generator and the receiver.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia National Environmental Standard

Waste Transportation



2) Citation a) This document may be cited as the National Waste Transport Standard for KSA. This standard revises the current General Standards for the Environment (specifically document number 1426-01) issued by the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment (PME)

3) Timescales for implementation . a) The effective date of this standard is 01/05/1433H

corresponds to 24/03/2012G.

4) Purpose a) The objective of this standard is to establish the requirements necessary to ensure that the transportation of waste in KSA is undertaken in a responsible manner to safeguard the protection of the environment and the community against potential accident, spills and pollution. b) The transport of dangerous goods is regulated in order to prevent, as far as reasonably practicable, accidents to persons or property and damage to the environment, the means of transport employed or to other goods. Notwithstanding this, the movement of such goods should not be impeded, other than those too dangerous to be accepted for transport, whilst making transport feasible by eliminating risks or reducing them to a minimum. c) In order to assist transporters with consistency and standardisation, there is a need to harmonise classification and labelling requirements for all hazardous substances, chemicals, drugs and dangerous goods in line with internationally recognised controls which:

i) Reduce the conformance burden on transportation of dangerous goods;

ii) Offer seamless compliance arrangements

for importers and exporters; iii) Ensure that transport of dangerous goods

within KSA will be aligned, as far as reasonably practicable, with international recognised practice.

d) The transboundary movement of waste must be properly monitored and controlled to protect both human health and the environment. It must also promote the principles of priority for recovery, national self-sufficiency and proximity in waste disposal.

5) Scope a) This Standard utilises the waste classification and definitions as stated in the provisions of the Waste

Classification Standard and does not extend to provisions covering radioactive waste or explosives. b) For the purposes of this Standard, three main modes of transport have been addressed, namely, transport by road, rail and sea.

c) This Standard does not apply to the on-site transportation of waste within a facilitys property boundary. d) This Standard incorporates the international requirements for dangerous goods and substances in relation to the transportation of hazardous waste to ensure consistency is achieved. e) Requirements relating to the packaging, labelling, loading, stowage, placarding and transportation of hazardous or dangerous substances apply as much to hazardous wastes as they do to pure chemical substances. There are also certain provisions that apply to hazardous wastes which take account of particular problems encountered in dealing with dangerous goods for transportation. f) Waste classifications detailed in this Standard are specifically for the purposes of labelling and packaging for transportation and, as such, are distinct from the classification of waste as detailed in the Waste Classification Standard. g) This Standard makes provision for vehicle specifications, which have been determined for minimum requirements to ensure the safety of hazardous waste transport operation. h) Transboundary waste movement provisions in this Standard are in line with multilateral environmental requirements to establish a framework of control, in relation to international recognised practice, whereby waste is disposed of in a controlled manner. The provisions aim to prevent the unauthorised disposal of international waste shipments and the unregulated recovery of waste shipments, without hindering the legitimate trade in waste.

6) Exemptions

a) Specific exemptions may be specified within this standard at any point where relevant to the Article that they are common to.

7) Powers of Authority

a) Within the scope of these standards the Competent Agency may:

i) Prescribe specific requirements as to the

transportation of waste within the Kingdom;

iii) authorise such relaxations or departures from, the waste transport standards and make any such authorisation subject to the prescribed conditions, and to modify or revoke any such authorisation or condition; and

iv) authorise a local Concerned Agency to

exercise any power conferred by these regulations by paragraphs i) - iii) above.

b) The Competent Agency may, for the purposes of this Standard, appoint persons to act on their behalf as technical assessors and monitors in relation to the powers and duties conferred on him by this standard and/or its subsequent amendments. c) In addition to the responsibilities conferred by other sections contained within this standard, it shall be the duty of a relevant party;

i) to give the Competent Agency all such assistance; and

ii) to provide the Competent Agency with all such information, as that may reasonably be required for the purpose of carrying out an investigation

d) The Competent Agency or appointed individual for the purpose of waste transport regulation may:

i) Enter any premises for the purpose of

carrying out any investigation; ii) Have access to vehicles for the purpose of

carrying out any investigation; iii) carry out such inspections, measurements and tests on premises entered, articles or records found on any such premises, and take away such samples of waste or articles, as may be considered appropriate for the purpose of enabling such investigation; or iv) at any reasonable time require any relevant party to supply him with copies of, or of extracts from, any records kept for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with waste transport standards.

e) This standard enables the issue of regulations and technical memoranda which are enforceable by the Competent Agency who hold delegated authority under the General Environmental Regulations.

8) Enforcement procedures a). Failure to comply with the requirements of these standards may lead to prosecution by the Competent Agency and those convicted of such failure may be subject to fines or periods of imprisonment as laid out in the General Environmental Regulations.

b) It is anticipated that the requirements of this standard will be enforced nationally with inspections taking place to verify their implementation at a regional and local level.

9) Penalty Fines

a) Maximum fines that may be imposed for exceeding the applicable standard, breach of permit and failure to comply with an abatement notice are set out in the General Environmental Regulations.

10) Appeals

a) A right of appeal exists for any organisation or individual who is required to take action as a consequence of the implementation of the revised standard. b) The right of appeal against conviction or sentence is available through the appropriate judicial system as set out in the General Environmental Regulations.

c) All appeals should be fully supported with a documented case containing as a minimum, the information required under the appeals process of the General Environmental Regulations.

11) Periodic Review a) As a minimum, the Competent Agency shall undertake a periodic review of this standard every 5 years. b) Where new information suggests that adjustments are required to this standard, all changes will be subject to the appropriate consultation and will be notified to facilities by the Competent Agency. Appropriate implementation time will be allowed.

2) Classification of Wastes for Transport Purposes

a) If wastes in packages or drums are to be transported by road, they must be classified to determine whether the wastes are subject to the packaging and labeling provisions. This requires an assessment of the wastes hazardous constituents and properties so that the transportation class can be identified. b) The transportation classes of dangerous goods are as follows:

Hazardous Waste Transportation Class

Corresponding Hazardous Waste Property

Class 1 Explosive substances Reactivity Class 2 Gases Ignitability Class 3 Flammable liquids Ignitability Class 4 Flammable solids Ignitability Class 5 Oxidising substances Reactivity Class 6 Poisonous and

Infectious substances Toxicity

Class 7 Radioactive substances (outside the scope of this Standard)

Class 8 Corrosive substances Corrosibility Class 9 Miscellaneous All Properties



dangerous substances and articles (includes asbestos and PCBs)

c) Wastes should not automatically be assigned to Class 9 if their properties qualify them for one of the other Classes. d) The specifications for the transport of hazardous waste are dependent on the type and class of the transported waste.

Article V Dangerous Goods Marking and Labeling

1) Requirements

a) Dangerous goods packaging must be of good quality and strong enough to withstand the loadings and shocks normally encountered during transportation.

2) Marking and Labelling of Packages

a) Every package must be clearly and durably marked with the hazard warning diamond plus a second diamond if necessary to denote a subsidiary hazard. b) Hazard warning signs are diamond shaped and are internationally recognised symbols required on packages, road tankers and freight containers for most types of waste transport. (See Appendix A, Hazard Warning Diamonds and Classes).

3) Marking and Placarding of Vehicles

a) Vehicles transporting dangerous goods must display placards that are clearly visible detailing the transportation class to provide a warning that the contents in the transport unit are dangerous goods and present risks. b) Placards must correspond to the primary risk of the waste contained in the transport unit. c) If dangerous goods are being carried in a tank or in bulk, the vehicle must display orange coloured plates.

Article VI Vehicle Requirements

1) Specifications for Transport Vehicles

a) Vehicles used to transport wastes must ensure the proper containment of the transported waste and must minimize potential risk associated with the transport of such waste.

b) The type of vehicle appropriate for the transportation of particular wastes is dependent upon the form and nature of the waste. c) The waste transportation company is responsible for providing and maintaining the vehicles in good working condition.

2) General Specifications for Transport Vehicles

a) The vehicle must be in good condition and must have:

i) an electric isolation switch to shut off all

electrical systems in cases of emergency;

ii) an engine situated so as to avoid any danger to the load through heating or ignition;

iii) an exhaust pipe discharged horizontally

and parts of the exhaust under the waste compartment must have a minimum clearance of 100mm or be protected with a thermal shield;

iv) a fuel tank equipped with an automated

shutting mechanism, preventing fuel from reaching the engine in cases of collision;

v) a fuel tank which, in cases of fuel

leakages, drains to the ground without coming into contact with hot parts of the vehicle or the load;

vi) a fuel tank equipped with a closure that

would keep the opening properly sealed;

vii) be equipped with the appropriate fire extinguisher to deal with emergency fire situations .

3) Specifications for Compartments holding the Waste

a) Compartments must;

i) be designed to hold the load without risk of

spillage or damage to the vehicle;

ii) contain the load safely in cases of accidents;

iii) not be loaded over the top of their walls;

iv) smooth inside to allow easy cleaning.

b) For packaged waste, the compartment tray must contain the volume of the largest package without spillage outside the compartment to prevent cases of leaks.



c) For bulk liquid waste, compartments must be supplied with closures, for loading and unloading, which can be hermetically sealed. d) For flammable waste, only closed vehicles with compartments with metal bodies must be used and compartment walls must ensure that no overheating occurs. e) For oxidizing waste, if covered vehicles are used, the cover must be non-combustible and impermeable to water. f) For corrosive waste, the internal surface of the compartment must be made of steel and resistant to corrosion. g) Bulk solid wastes can be transported in containers or compartments that are secured by a suitable net or tarpaulin.

4) Safety Provisions

a) Prior to loading, the compartments must be clean of any previous waste residues so as to prevent the interaction of a dangerous reaction with the new load resulting, as well as from debris that may damage the waste containers. b) Loading must be carried out by trained personnel. c) For packaged waste, the loading and unloading equipment must not damage the containers in any way; and the containers must be loaded upright, is such a way to secure their stability during transit. d) For bulk waste, loading and unloading is to be carried out with minimum spillage of the waste onto the outside surfaces of the compartments. If this occurs, the compartments must be cleaned prior to movement of the waste.

Article VII Transboundary Movement of Waste 1) The Basel Convention

a) KSA has ratified The Basel Convention and as such has designated PME to act as the Competent Agency for the transboundary movement of waste.

The Competent Agency has responsibility for the operation and enforcement of transboundary waste movements and compliance within KSA.

2) Transboundary Restrictions on Waste

a) The transboundary movements of wastes must be kept to a minimum consistent with their environmentally sound management.

b) The treatment and disposal of wastes in KSA must be conducted as close as possible to their source of generation in an environmentally sound way. c) Hazardous waste exports or imports for the purposes of disposal or recovery are restricted to ensure the protection of human health and the environment. d) Wastes that are not subject to the export or import restrictions, for the purposes of recovery, are detailed in Appendix B, The Green List.

3) Compliance Requirements

a) A proposed movement of transboundary hazardous waste for disposal or recovery must be notified to the Competent Agency in the country of export, import and transit so its assessment and authorization may be assessed. b) No hazardous waste can be shipped into or out of KSA unless the Competent Agency has issued a certificate stating that it is satisfied that a financial guarantee or equivalent insurance is in place, or will be in place at the time of shipment, in case the waste has to be returned to the country of origin. c) The Competent Agency in the country receiving the hazardous waste for disposal or recovery must, within 30 days of being notified, give in writing its authorisation or refusal to the proposed shipment of waste. This requirement does not apply to wastes for recovery or recycling detailed in The Amber List (see Appendix III) so long as no objections are made by the relevant Competent Agency.

d) The waste must be accompanied by a completed Waste Tracking Form including details of the date of shipment and the waste receiver code, and it must be signed by all undertakings involved in the operation. If documentation is required in both countries related to a transboundary shipment, both apply and must be completed. Provisions relating to the Waste Tracking Form are detailed in the Waste Regulatory Control and Compliance Standard. e) Hazardous waste listed in The Red List (see Appendix IV) for the purposes of recovery or recycling is subject to all the requirements detailed in (a) (d). f) Waste listed in The Green List (see Appendix II) for the purposes of recovery or recycling are only subject to the compliance requirement detailed in (d) above.

4) Categories of Transboundary Waste for Recovery or Recycling

a) For the purposes of importing and exporting, waste is divided into three categories internationally known as the Green, Amber and Red Lists. b) Wastes listed on the Green List are considered non-hazardous when exported for the purposes of exporting or importing for recycling or recovery.



Regardless of whether or not wastes are included on this list, they may not be moved as a Green List waste if they are contaminated by other materials to an extent which;

i) increases the risks associated with the

waste sufficiently to render it appropriate for inclusion in the amber or red lists; or

ii) prevents the recovery of the waste in an

environmentally sound manner.

c) The Amber List contains a list of wastes that are considered hazardous but which are less hazardous than those in The Red List which are considered extremely hazardous materials.



Appendix A Hazard Warning Diamonds

Class Classification Hazardous Property Hazard Sign Examples Class 1 Explosive Substances

These materials will explode

Class 2 Gases

Class 2.1 Flammable Gas

These are gases which will burn

Hydrogen LPG

Class 2.2 Non-flammable gas Non-toxic gas

These gases are usually compressed and so are a source of stored energy and some may also present an anoxic hazard (that is, they will exclude oxygen and so kill through asphyxiation). These containers may rocket if valves are damaged or containers are involved in a fire.

Air Carbon Dioxide Nitrogen

Class 2.3 Poisonous Gas

These gases are toxic. Being gases, they will rapidly disperse if there is a leak. This may reduce the concentration and the hazard - but it will also spread the gas further, so increasing the risk of poisoning more people.

Chlorine

Methyl Bromide

Nitric Oxide

Class 3 Flammable Liquids

These liquids all burn

Petrol

Kerosene

Class 4 Flammable Solids

Class 4.1 Flammable solids, self-reactive and related substances and desensitised explosives

Solids easily ignited and readily combustible. These are ordinarily flammable solids which don't fit into Class 4.2 or 4.3.

Sulphur

Phosphorus

Picric Acid

Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible

These materials will catch fire if exposed to air without any heat being applied (that is, the heat from the normal air is sufficient for them to catch fire - no other source of heat is required).

Charcoal (non-activated)



Class 4.3 Dangerous when wet

This class is also known as Emits flammable gases when wet'. This class has a particular hazard: not only can moisture from the air cause a fire, but if water or foam is used to extinguish them, it will make the situation worse.

Calcium

Carbide

Class 5 Oxidising Substances

Class 5.1 Oxidising Agent

These are all oxidising agents other than organic peroxides. When substances burn in air, they combine with oxygen and so are said to have been oxidised. Other chemicals have a similar 'burning' effect and so are said to be oxidising agents. The largest group of these are the organic peroxides.

Chlorine

Calcium Hypochlorite

Sodium Peroxide

Class 5.2

Organic peroxides

(liquid or solid)

These are a particular class of oxidising agent. They have all the normal hazards of oxidising agents (that is, they will cause a 'chemical burning'). In addition, they will often be explosive under certain conditions - especially, if they are allowed to dry out.

Benzoyl Peroxides

Methyl Ethyl

Ketone Peroxides (MEKP)

Class 6 Poisonous and Infectious Substances

Class 6.1

Poisons

These are liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. It is acceptable to use the word 'toxic' to replace the word 'poison'.

Cyanides

Lead

Arsenic

Class 6.2

Infectious Substances

Substances containing viable micro-organisms that may cause disease in humans or animals.

Diagnostic Specimens or Live Vaccines

Class 7 Radioactive Substances

Materials or combinations of materials which spontaneously emit ionising radiation. (included here for recognition purposes)

Uranium

Radio Isotopes

Plutonium

Class 8 Corrosive Substances

These chemicals will corrode a wide range of materials including some materials of construction for tanks and eyes and skin.

Care must be taken to ensure the containers and packages are made from the right materials and the chemicals do not come into contact with clothes, skin or eyes.

Special protective equipment needs to be worn.

Hydrochloric acid

Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid pool chlorine)

Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda)



Class 9 Miscellaneous Goods

Substances and articles which have potentially dangerous properties that are relatively minor, or are not covered by any of the classes already described.

Aerosols

Polyester Beads
