Operators of treatment plants for the processing of waste wood for the production of wood-based materials are obliged to have tests and investigations on the pollutant content of waste wood carried out regularly by bodies notified by the competent authority.

If you wish to carry out these inspections, you must apply to the competent authority of the federal state to designate you as an inspection body. The notification or designation applies to the entire federal territory.

Further documents may have to be provided after consultation with the competent authority.
