Waste Classification, WAC Testing, Aggregates Analysis & Asbestos in Soils Screening

Green Line

At Ardnanure Compliance Ltd, we provide a complete service for Waste Classification, WAC testing, aggregates analysis, and asbestos in soils screening, working with authorised and INAB-accredited laboratories. We ensure that all excavated soils, stones and construction materials are assessed correctly and fully compliant with EPA guidance, the Waste Management Act, recognised methodologies such as WM3, and the EPA’s specific Soil & Stone By-Products and Soil Recovery / Waste Acceptance Criteria frameworks.

Our services include

  • Development of compliant sampling plans and strategies
  • Collection or coordination of representative samples
  • Full analytical suites via INAB-accredited labs
  • Waste Classification under the List of Waste (LoW), applying WM3 decision logic where required
  • Asbestos in soils testing, including screening and confirmatory analysis
  • WAC testing to EN 12457 for inert, non-hazardous and hazardous acceptance
  • Aggregates testing for geotechnical, engineering and environmental suitability
  • Guidance and support for Article 27 by-product notifications for soils/stone meeting the EPA’s criteria (e.g., “excess uncontaminated soil and stone” per EPA guidance)
  • Support in adhering to EPA’s “Guidance on Waste Acceptance Criteria at authorised soil recovery facilities” (for soil recovery routes).
  • Clear, decision-ready compliance reports to support reuse, recovery, disposal or by-product registration.

By managing the entire chain of compliance—from sampling to reporting—we help your project remain compliant, traceable and on-programme. Our coordinated approach reduces risk, accelerates decision-making, and ensures every movement is supported by robust, defensible technical evidence.
