Bus/Financial - Forestry / Wood / Timber / Waste code
German term or phrase: AVV-Nr.
This term appears as a column heading in a table concerning waste wood supply in Germany.

Is it correct that AVV-Nr. means Abfalllschlüsselnummer (waste code)? If so is there an equivalent acronym in English?

waste catalogue code
Explanation:
The AVV-Nr. refers to the Abfallverzeichnis-Verordnung Nummer. There are lots of these code numbers, see link below. The European equivalent (which is the one I would prefer over any German translated version) is the waste catalogue code, see second link.
