    Halogenated organic solvents

Use Y41 for halogenated organic solvents as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for halogenated organic solvents, such as methylene chloride & trichloroethylene.

Is Basel Y41 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y41 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 Y41 cover?

It covers organic solvents that contain halogens. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
