Use Y7 for cyanide-bearing heat-treatment waste as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for cyanide-containing wastes from heat treatment & tempering, such as spent salt baths & hardening sludges.

Is Basel Y7 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Y7 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 Y7 cover?

It covers cyanide-containing waste from heat treatment or tempering. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
