Listed withBasel List A codes

Basel List A waste. Metal cable with plastic coating holding or contaminated by coal tar, PCB, lead or cadmium to a hazardous level.

Is Basel A1190 hazardous waste?

Normally yes. Basel A1190 is a List A description, so the waste is presumed hazardous unless evidence shows it has none of the Annex III hazardous characteristics. The description and any stated exclusions must still match.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Basel A1190 cover?

Discarded metal cable with plastic coating or insulation, when coal tar, PCBs, lead, cadmium, another organohalogen or another Annex I constituent is present at a level that gives the cable an Annex III characteristic.
