Is Basel Y39 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y39 names a waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. The code describes the material. Its hazards, the other classification parts and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25 decide federal status in Canada.

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 still apply.

What does Basel Y39 cover?

It covers phenol and phenolic compounds, including chlorinated phenols. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
