No, you cannot. Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) data are testing requirements that need to be met for disposal of hazardous waste to a hazardous or stable non reactive hazardous class of landfill or certain types of non-hazardous waste to an inert class of landfill (case for UK; exact application can vary from county to country). WAC data cannot be used to classify the waste as hazardous or non-hazardous. However, you can use the eluate results (soluble metals) to help rule out certain metal compounds.

HazWasteOnline™ contains all 4,000+ substances published in Table 3 of the CLP regulations and subsequesnt ATP’s. It also contains extra substances that we have researched and added to the database.
Where a user needs other non-CLP substances, the user can “self classify”, which means that they can undertake the research themselves and then add the data to their HazWasteOnline™ database. The user can also modify existing CLP substances if they consider that a substance has a missing hazard property (incomplete entries).

As many as you want; one, tens or hundreds of samples.
