Is Basel B3050 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B3050 is on Basel List B, so material matching it is normally not hazardous under the Convention. It becomes hazardous if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25 and its exclusions decide Canadian federal control.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Basel B3050 cover?

Covers untreated wood scrap or waste, loose or pressed into logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms. It also covers cork waste that is crushed, granulated or ground.
