Is 16 01 11* hazardous?

Yes, unless an assessment shows it isn’t. 16 01 11* has an asterisk, and WM3 lists it as mirror hazardous: the hazardous side of a choice between codes, decided by assessing the waste under WM3.

If it isn’t hazardous: 16 01 12. If you can’t find out what’s in it, it stays 16 01 11*.

As hazardous waste it moves on a hazardous waste consignment note, not a waste transfer note. Hazardous waste EWC codes
