Basel List B codes
Chemical-industry gypsum outside List A
Use B2080 for chemical-industry gypsum outside List A as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B2080 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B2080 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 B2080 cover?
Covers discarded gypsum from chemical-industry processes when it isn't assigned to List A. Compare A2040. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
