Basel List B codes
Qualifying plastic-coated waste cable
Use B1115 for qualifying plastic-coated waste cable as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B1115 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B1115 is on Basel List B, so material that matches it is normally outside the Convention's hazardous definition. That changes if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25, including its exclusions, decides Canadian federal control.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Basel B1115 cover?
Covers waste metal cable coated or insulated in plastic, as long as it falls outside A1190. Cable for an Annex IV A operation is excluded. So is any disposal that involves uncontrolled heat at any stage, including open burning.
