ComplyOnSiteIs Basel Y6 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Y6 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 Y6 cover?
It covers waste produced when organic solvents are made, formulated or used. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
