Listed withBasel List B codes

Dispersible copper or copper-alloy waste, such as powder & dust. Hazardous only if contaminated enough.

Is Basel B1070 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B1070 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 B1070 cover?

Covers dispersible waste of copper or its alloys, unless Annex I constituents are present at a level that causes an Annex III hazardous characteristic.
