ComplyOnSiteIs Basel Y5 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Y5 names a Basel waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. Federal status in Canada depends on the waste's hazards, the other classification parts, and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.
For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Basel Y5 cover?
It covers waste from making, formulating or using chemicals that preserve wood. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
