Coal-power fly ash outside List A, the fine ash carried off in coal-fired power station flue gas. Not hazardous.

Is Basel B2050 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B2050 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 B2050 cover?

Covers fly ash from a coal-fired power station when it is outside List A. Compare A2060. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
