There is no uniform national standard for defining the wastes that comprise the regulatedmedical waste (RMW) stream. Based on the variability associated with infectious diseasecausation, no method exists to determine the potential “infectivity” posed by RMW. Becauseof this, regulated medical waste definitions developed by the various federal, state, andlocal government entities are based on the agencies' judgments of risk from theperspective of the jurisdiction to which the definition will apply. It then becomes theresponsibility of the regulated community to recognize the various agencies withjurisdiction over definitions and to address the definitional elements of each,recognizing and addressing the inconsistencies that may exist.
