    Other organohalogen compounds

Use Y45 for other organohalogen compounds as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for organohalogen compounds not already named in other Y codes, such as Y39 & Y41.

Is Basel Y45 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y45 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 Y45 cover?

It covers organohalogen compounds not named elsewhere in the table, including outside entries Y39, Y41, Y42, Y43 and Y44. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
