German term

ausweispflichtiger Sondermüll

German to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing
Context:

"Sonstige Stoffe, die als ausweispflichtiger Sondermüll zu entsorgen sind, mit genauer Spezifikation"

I'm not too sure about the "ausweispflichtiger". I'm workign along the lines of:

"Other materials that need to be disposed of as hazardous waste, including precise details"

but that completely omits the "ausweispflichtiger" part.

Nicole Büchel Mar 22, 2010:
I'm pretty sure that the term "ausweispflichtig" in the German sentence is not correct. What I guess is that they mean "kennzeichnungspflichtig", i. e. hazardous waste that needs to be marked / identified as such.

Reference:

reportable hazardous waste

According to the information I found on Wikipedia, hazardous waste needs to be reported to the authorities prior to its disposal.

Maybe this is what the author of your text intended.
Example sentence:

Sonderabfall unterliegt obligatorisch der gesetzlichen Nachweispflicht. Das bedeutet, dass Sonderabfall nur nach vorheriger behördlicher Genehmigung vom Abfallerzeuger zu einer zugelassenen Verwertungs- oder Beseitigungsanlage transportiert werden darf,
