NIS2 for Waste management
Industrial control systems in facilities that were never designed to be networked, plus a principal-activity test that needs documenting.
Which entities are covered
Undertakings carrying out waste management, excluding those for whom waste management is not their principal economic activity.
Sub-sectors named in the annex
- Undertakings carrying out waste management
Scope traps specific to this sector
Trap 1
The exclusion turns on waste management not being the principal economic activity — a manufacturer handling its own waste is normally out.
Trap 2
Frequently municipal, so the public administration entry can also apply.
What else applies to you
Directive 2008/98/EC on waste.
NIS2 rarely arrives alone. Where another EU act covers the same ground and is at least equivalent in effect, article 4 disapplies the corresponding NIS2 provisions — but only those, and only where that test is met.
