Dental clinics generate a variety of biomedical waste, including used gloves, needles, syringes, amalgam waste, blood-soaked cotton, and other infectious materials. Improper disposal of this waste can lead to serious health risks and environmental contamination. To ensure safety and compliance, all dental clinics in India must obtain Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) Registration under the Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016.
What Is Bio-Medical Waste Registration?
Bio-Medical Waste Registration is a statutory authorization issued by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC). It confirms that a healthcare facility, including dental clinics, is compliant with BMW rules and has proper arrangements for collection, segregation, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of biomedical waste.
Who Needs BMW Registration in Dental Clinics?
All dental clinics, regardless of size, that generate biomedical waste fall under the scope of BMW rules. This includes:
General dental clinics
Orthodontic centers
Dental hospitals and specialty clinics
BMW registration ensures that waste management practices are safe, traceable, and environmentally responsible.
How to Apply for Bio-Medical Waste Registration
