FOOD TESTS
Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing is essential for determining if soil and other waste materials meet the criteria for disposal in landfills. Fitz Scientific provides detailed analysis of soil samples, testing for parameters such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, and leachability.
Fitz Scientific’s WAC testing is particularly crucial for construction, demolition, and industrial projects where large volumes of waste need to be managed responsibly. By analysing the composition of both the solid sample and leachate, they help prevent environmental contamination and ensure compliance with landfill regulations. The service includes sample collection, laboratory testing, and detailed reporting, all conducted by experienced professionals using advanced laboratory techniques and adhering to strict quality control standards.
Fitz Scientific provides comprehensive reports comparing the results of testing with the limit values for acceptance at each category of disposal facility.
Waste Classification Testing
In additional to WAC testing we also offer our clients a comprehensive array of other suites to be used in the classification of waste. The tests include Murphy Suite, Arup Suite, Drehid Suite, Atlas Suite, Enva Suite and we can offer other custom made suites.
We can provide results in .HWOL file format to be used in the HazWasteOnline application to allow for Classification of Waste as Hazardous or Non-Hazardous and assigning a List of Waste Code.
