Is 19 12 11* hazardous?
Yes, unless an assessment shows it isn’t. 19 12 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: 19 12 12. If you can’t find out what’s in it, it stays 19 12 11*.
As hazardous waste it moves on a hazardous waste consignment note, not a waste transfer note. Hazardous waste EWC codes
