Basel List B codes
Iron or steel production slag
Use B1210 for iron or steel production slag as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B1210 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B1210 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 B1210 cover?
Covers slag from making iron or steel, including slag used as a source of titanium dioxide or vanadium. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
