Risk assessment and waste classification

Use one method track or both: calculate site-specific guideline values according to Swedish EPA Report 5976, import lab data from ALS and Eurofins, and classify excavated soil against HP4-HP14.

Risk assessment

Calculate site-specific guideline values across health, soil environment, groundwater, and surface-water pathways according to Swedish EPA Report 5976.

Shared lab data

Import ALS and Eurofins Excel reports and use the reviewed project data for both guideline comparisons and waste classification.

Waste classification

Classify excavated soil against HP4-HP14 using ECHA Annex VI CLP data, manual HP handling, and PDF export.

How it works

1
Create a project

For your site or property. Invite colleagues as needed.

2
Choose workflow

Risk assessment, waste classification, or both depending on the assignment.

3
Add data

Import a lab report, use a template, or enter concentrations manually.

4
Get guideline values and classification

Export traceable PDF deliverables for risk assessment and waste classification.


Two method tracks

Risk assessment

Naturvårdsverket Rapport 5976

The risk-assessment workflow follows Swedish EPA Report 5976. Calculations are site-specific and driven by scenario, soil properties, hydrogeology, building data, and selected protection targets.

Exposure Pathways

Calculations cover ingestion, dermal contact, inhalation (dust/vapor), and protection of groundwater/surface water/soil eco-systems.

  • Soil ingestion, dermal contact, dust inhalation
  • Inhalation of vapors (indoor & outdoor)
  • Drinking water intake
  • Protection of soil ecosystem
  • Protection of groundwater
  • Protection of surface water
The Limiting Value

The final guideline value is the lowest of Health risks, Environmental risks, and Physical constraints.


Waste classification

CLP, HP properties, POP and PDF

Waste classification is used when excavated material or other material becomes waste. It is not a site-specific risk model; it is a concentration-based classification of a clearly defined waste fraction.

Want to know more about waste classification?

The deep dive describes what the tool calculates automatically, the POP screening, and where the boundaries to the consultant's own assessment lie. Waste classification can also be run entirely standalone — you do not need to configure scenario parameters or calculate guideline values.

HP4-HP14 with CLP data

The tool calculates the HP properties that can be assessed from concentrations and harmonised CLP classifications. HP1, HP2, HP3, HP9 and HP15 normally require manual assessment; HP12 is handled separately from relevant EUH statements and substance-specific evidence.

POP screening

Parameters marked POP are screened in parallel with the HP assessment against the limit values in the POP Regulation (EU 2019/1021).

Deliverable PDF

The report shows the classification outcome, HP summary, triggering substances, reference substances, warnings, manual HP assessments, and method/responsibility text.

How it differs from risk assessment

Risk assessment answers which concentrations may be accepted at the site. Waste classification answers whether a waste fraction is hazardous or non-hazardous waste.


Adding data

Lab reports, Excel & manual entry

Analytical data can be added in three ways — direct import of lab reports, the system's Excel template, or manual entry. Whichever route you take, everything ends up in the same reviewed table that the calculations run on.

Lab reports

Excel reports from ALS and Eurofins are imported directly, and the analytes are mapped automatically to the right parameters.

Excel template

Download the system's Excel template, fill in the concentrations and import it — practical when data needs to be compiled or cleaned outside the system.

Manual entry

Type concentrations directly into the table for single samples, additions or control values.


Workflow & Structure

Projekt & Rapporter

One project, optional workflow

A project represents a site or engagement. You can classify only a waste batch, only assess the site, or combine both decisions when the assignment requires it.

Traceability

Reports show which inputs were used, which assumptions were made, and which parts were assessed by the user. Risk assessment and waste classification export as separate PDF deliverables.
