    Granulated iron or steel slag

Use B1200 for granulated iron or steel slag as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.

Granulated iron or steel slag, the glassy granules left by iron & steel making. A Basel List B waste, so not hazardous.

Is Basel B1200 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B1200 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 B1200 cover?

Covers granulated slag made in iron or steel manufacture. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
