ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B1060 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B1060 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 B1060 cover?
Covers selenium or tellurium waste in elemental metallic form, powder included. List B treatment holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
