Basel List B codes
Precious-metal ash from burnt circuit boards
Use B1160 for precious-metal ash from burnt circuit boards as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B1160 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B1160 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 B1160 cover?
Covers ash that holds precious metals, left after printed circuit boards are incinerated. Compare A1150. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
