In the majority of the UK the '''Quality Protocol for Compost''' is the main document which sets out how [[Composting]] should be undertaken to meet [[End of Waste Criteria]] such that the compost produced is no longer subject to waste regulatory control. The [[British Standards Institute]] ([[BSI]]) publishes '''BSI PAS100''' (the previous edition PAS100:2011 having been updated by edition PAS100:2018) as the standard for the specification of compost materials '''which enables operators to meet the Quality Protocol''' .
