Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing
German term or phrase: ausweispflichtiger Sondermüll
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.

Reference: reportable hazardous waste

Reference information:
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(s):
  • 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,
