The Notification of the ministry of

industry on Disposal of wastes or
unusable materials B.E. 2548 (2005)
HW means wastes that contain or
contaminate with hazardous materials or
exhibit the hazardous characteristics
including flammable, corrosive, reactive,
toxic, or having the specified constituents.
HW means wastes listed in the Annex.

 Infectious Waste
Regulation of MOPH B.E. 2545 (2002)
The term infectious waste includes
y Body parts or carcasses of human and
animal from surgery, autopsies and research
y Sharps, such as needles, blades, syringes,
vials, glass wares, slides and cover slides

 Legal obligations on hazardous waste handling

Factory Act, B.E. 2535 (1992)

The Act authorizes the Ministry of Industry to issue standards
and specify methods for the control, handling, and disposal of
waste by a factory and to license, permit, and inspect factory
operations, including waste management. It also governs the
licensing, permitting, and inspection of waste treatment,
disposal, and recycling facilities.

Industrial Estate Act, B.E. 2522 (1979)

The Act governs the powers of the Industrial Estate Authority
of Thailand, including enforcement of regulations and taking
action on hazardous waste practices within industrial estates.

23
 Legal obligations on hazardous waste handling

Hazardous Substance Act, B.E. 2535 (1992)

The Act Governs a broad range of hazardous substances,
including hazardous and infectious waste. It allows the
handling, storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous waste
to be specified in a ministerial decree.

The Enhancement and Conservation of

National Environmental Quality Act , B.E.
2535 (1992)
The Act generally applies to industrial and infectious waste
management through environmental planning and
environmental quality standards and monitoring. It also
establishes EIA system, which applies to high pollution
industries and central treatment facilities.
