[[Substance Orientated Classification]] or the '''[[SOC]]''' code is used to consolidate [[EWC]] codes into similar codes from different origins/processing activity into a single category. The historical consolidated reporting to the EU was via '''[[STAT]]''' codes and the SOC codes broadly mirror the STAT coding approach.

An example as applied to [[EWCChap18]] is as follows:

'''Chapter 18''' - Wastes From Human Or Animal Health Care And/Or Related Research (except kitchen and restaurant wastes not arising from immediate health care) (generally the [[Healthcare Waste]] chapter)

'''18 01 wastes''' from natal care, diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease in humans
