Biomedical waste (BMW) encompasses a wide range of hazardous and infectious materials generated from healthcare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic laboratories, blood banks, veterinary institutions, and research facilities. Due to its potential to transmit diseases and pollute the environment, the Government of India has mandated strict guidelines under the Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016, amended from time to time.
As per these rules, no healthcare facility is allowed to generate, store, treat, transport, or dispose of biomedical waste without proper authorisation from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). This authorisation is mandatory, legally binding, and subject to periodic renewal and compliance audits.
| Authorisation Type | Applicable Entity | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Generator Authorisation | Healthcare Facilities (≥100 kg/day or with 10+ beds) | For generation, segregation, pre-treatment, storage, and handover of BMW |
| Treatment Facility Authorisation | Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facilities (CBMWTFs) | For scientific treatment and disposal (autoclaving, incineration, etc.) |
| Transporter Authorisation | Entities engaged in transporting BMW | For the secure movement of biomedical waste between facilities |
Note: Facilities generating <100 kg/day may need registration under simplified norms, but still require annual reporting.
