Is 17 01 06* hazardous?

Yes, unless an assessment shows it isn’t. 17 01 06* 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: 17 01 01, 17 01 02, 17 01 03 or 17 01 07. If you can’t find out what’s in it, it stays 17 01 06*.

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