ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B3140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B3140 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 B3140 cover?
Covers discarded pneumatic tires, unless they are meant for an operation in Annex IV A. List B treatment holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
