Hazardous Waste Authorisation (NOC) Services in India
Obtaining a Hazardous Waste Authorisation is mandatory for any industrial or commercial unit that
generates, stores, handles, transports, treats, or disposes of hazardous waste.
Under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016,
waste that is toxic, corrosive, reactive, flammable, or environmentally harmful
must be managed only with valid approval from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).
This approval—often referred to as a Hazardous Waste NOC—
is a legal prerequisite for conducting hazardous waste storage, treatment, recycling, or disposal activities in India.
Simplicomp Tech LLP provides end-to-end support for
Hazardous Waste Authorisation, ensuring accurate regulatory classification, complete documentation, and smooth coordination with Pollution Control Board authorities.
What Is Hazardous Waste Authorisation?
Hazardous Waste Authorisation is a statutory permit issued by the
Pollution Control Board that allows facilities to legally
generate, store, transport, recycle, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste in accordance with environmental laws.
It governs :-
- Classification of hazardous waste under regulatory schedules
- Safe storage, packaging, and labeling requirements
- Transportation and manifest compliance
- Disposal through authorised TSDFs, recyclers, or co-processors
- Pollution prevention, environmental safeguards, and occupational safety
This approval ensures that hazardous waste is managed in a controlled, traceable, and environmentally responsible manner.
Who Requires Hazardous Waste Authorisation?
Hazardous Waste Authorisation applies to :-
- Manufacturing and processing industries
- Chemical, pharmaceutical, and paint manufacturing units
- Metal finishing, electroplating, and foundries
- Automotive, battery, and electronics facilities
- Units generating ETP / STP sludge, spent solvents, used oil, or chemical residues
- Any organisation producing hazardous waste as classified by SPCB
If hazardous waste is generated at any stage of operations, authorisation is legally required.
