    Non-hazardous power-generation assembly scrap

Use B1040 for non-hazardous power-generation assembly scrap as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.

Listed withBasel List B codes

Basel List B code for scrap assemblies from electrical power generation. They are not contaminated with lubricating oil, PCB or PCT.

Is Basel B1040 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B1040 is on Basel List B, so matching material is normally not hazardous under the Convention. It becomes hazardous if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25 and its exclusions decide Canadian federal control.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions say when that applies.

What does Basel B1040 cover?

Covers discarded assemblies from electrical-power generation, as long as lubricating oil, PCBs or PCTs don't contaminate them enough to make them hazardous.
