B1150, Packaged dispersible precious-metal waste.
Basel List B codes
Packaged dispersible precious-metal waste
Use B1150 for packaged dispersible precious-metal waste as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B1150 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B1150 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 B1150 cover?
Covers dispersible, non-liquid waste of gold, silver, platinum-group metals or their alloys. Mercury is not covered. The waste must be suitably packaged and labelled.
