Basel Y waste stream codes
Oil or hydrocarbon mixed with water

Use Y9 for oil or hydrocarbon mixed with water as a Basel waste stream or constituent.

Basel Y waste stream for waste oil/water & hydrocarbon/water mixtures, including emulsions, bilge water & oily sludge.

Is Basel Y9 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Y9 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 Y9 cover?

It covers discarded oil-and-water mixtures, hydrocarbon-and-water mixtures and emulsions. Its Canadian movement status still needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and intended operation.
