Generator Knowledge
The generator is in the best position to know all the chemicals or ingredients used in the process of generating the waste, as well as the quantities and concentrations of chemicals used in the process. In other words, the generator is the cook and should know the ingredients and amounts used in the recipe.
| Generators should obtain information to identify the concentrations and types of ingredients are used in their processes. Information from material safety datasheets are available from chemical manufacturers and on-line sources, such as MSDSonline. In addition, process-specific information may be available from industry groups, industry studies, and helplines/hotlines. | This text is replaced by the Flash movie.

Analytical Testing
Generators who want to supplement their knowledge with analytical testing, or who choose to rely solely on analytical testing to classify waste as hazardous or non-hazardous, would benefit from developing a plan for sampling and testing . The more information that generators have about the materials used in their processes, the more information they can use to limit the amount of analytical testing.
