+=== What counts as waste material ===
+The material received is likely to be considered [[waste]] under the regulations if it meets the following criteria:
+* it’s from a household source or it’s from a non-household source and is similar to household waste in nature or composition
+* it was separately collected for the primary purpose of preparing for [[reuse]] or recycling
+* it’s a single kind of material (a single stream) or multiple materials mixed together (a multiple stream)
+* it contains one or more material types including [[glass]], [[metal]], [[Paper & Card|paper]], [[Paper & Card|card]], [[plastic]], or fibre-based composite materials
+=== Assessing whether you are a materials facility ===
+You are probably operating a MF under the regulations if:
+* you receive [[waste]] material which is:
+** prepared for recycling or [[reuse]]
+** includes sorting the waste material into specified output materials suppliers into commom bulked quantities.
+You are '''not''' a MF if:
+* only consolidate [[waste]] material from a single supplier into bulked outputs
+* do not prepare the material for [[reuse]] or recycing
+== Input sampling, measuring and recording<ref name=":0" group="gov.uk" /> ==
+As a MF receiving 1,000 tonnes or more of waste material in 12 months and you meet the criteria above as a facility within the scope of the new regulations then sampling, measurement and recording of information by each individual supplier must be undertaken.
+This involves measuring and recording the following:
+* the total weight in tonnes of input waste material for each supplier during each reporting period
+* the name and address of the supplier (or of each supplier) for each batch of material
+* the date on which the batch of material was received, from which a sample has been taken
+for i'''nput sampling''' the following information must be taken and recorded for '''each''' input sample:
+* its composition in relation to the input sampling categories
+* details of each supplier from whose inputs the sample was taken
+* total weight in kilograms of each sample
+* date the sample was taken
+* details of the sampling methodology used to take a representative sample
+In addition to measuring and recording the above, you alos need to report:
+* the total number of samples taken for each supplier
+* the total weight of all samples
+**
