If you act as a centre for the examination of sewage sludge and/or soil under the Sewage Sludge Ordinance, you must have been notified in advance.

Sewage sludge producers are obliged to test the soil for certain parameters before applying or introducing sewage sludge or sewage sludge mixtures. Sewage sludge must also be analysed before it is released.

If you wish to carry out these tests, you must apply to the competent authority of the federal state to designate you as a testing centre in the waste management sector. The notification or designation applies to the entire federal territory.
