(1) Whenever possible, the code number of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, established by the Brussels
Convention of 14 June 1983 under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council (Harmonised System) is listed opposite an entry.
This code may apply to both wastes and products. This Regulation does not include items which are not wastes. Therefore, the code —
used by customs officials in order to facilitate their procedures as well as by others — is only provided here to help in identifying wastes
that are listed and subject to this Regulation. However, corresponding official Explanatory Notes as issued by the Customs Cooperation
Council should be used a interpretative guidance to identify wastes covered by generic headings.
The indicative “ex” identifies a specific item contained within a heading of the Harmonised System code.
The code in bold in the first column is the OECD code: it consists of two letters (one for the list: Green, Amber or Red and one for the
category of waste: A, B, C,. . .) followed by a number.

(2) “Non-dispersible” does not include any wastes in the form of powder, sludge, dust or solid items containing encased hazardous waste

liquids.

(3) This entry covers the use of such slags as a source of titanium dioxide and vanadium.

(1) Whenever possible, the code number of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, established by the Brussels
Convention of 14 June 1983 under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council (Harmonised System) is listed opposite an entry.
This code may apply to both wastes and products. This Regulation does not include items which are not wastes. Therefore, the code —
used by customs officials in order to facilitate their procedures as well as by others — is only provided here to help in identifying wastes
that are listed and subject to this Regulation. However, corresponding official Explanatory Notes as issued by the Customs Cooperation
Council should be used as interpretative guidance to identify wastes covered by generic headings.
The indicative “ex” identifies a specific item contained within a heading of the Harmonised System code.
The code in bold in the first column is the OECD code: it consists of two letters (one for the list: Green, Amber or Red, and one for the
category of waste A, B, C,

. . ) followed by a number.

.

(2) This listing includes wastes in the form of ash, residue, slag, dross, skimming, scaling, dust, powder, sludge and cake, unless a material is

expressly listed elsewhere.

ANNEX V

INTRODUCTORY NOTES

1. Annex V shall apply without prejudice to Directive 75/442/EEC, as amended by Directive 91/156/EEC, and Directive

91/689/EEC.

2. This Annex consists of three parts, whereby Parts 2 and 3 only apply when Part 1 is not applicable. Consequently, to
determine if a specific waste is covered by Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, one has to first check whether the
waste features in Part 1 of Annex V, if this is not the case whether it features in Part 2, and if this is not the case
whether it features in Part 3.

Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A enumerating wastes which are classified as hazadous for the purposes of
the Basel Convention and therefore are covered by the export ban and List B enumerating wastes which are not
covered by the export ban.

Thus, if a waste features in Part 1, one has to check if it is enumerated in List A or in List B. Only if a waste does not
feature in either List A or List B of Part 1, one has to check if it features in Part 2 or 3 and if this is the case it is
covered by the export ban.

3. Member States may make provisions, in exceptional cases, to determine, om the basis of documentary evidence
provided in an appropriate way by the holder, that a specific waste on this Annex is excluded from the export ban
referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended, if it does not display any of the properties
listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8 of the said Annex, the limit
values laid down in Council Decision 94/904/EC (1).

In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged importing country prior to taking a decision.
Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The Commission shall
forward the information to all Member States and to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the
information provided, the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit proposals to the
Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V to Regulation
(EEC) No 259/93.

4. The fact a waste is not listed in this Annex, or that it is listed in Part 1, List B, does not preclude, in exceptional cases,
characterisation of such a waste as hazardous and therefore subject to the export ban referred to in Article 16(1) of
if it displays any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive
Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended,
91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8 of the said Annex, the limit values laid down in Decision
94/904/EC, as provided for in Article 1(4), second indent, of Directive 91/689/EEC and in the Header of Annex II to
Regulation (EEC) No 259/93.

In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged importing country prior to taking a decision.
Member States shall notifiy such cases to the Commission before the end of each calendar year. The Commission shall
forward the information to all Member States and to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention. On the basis of the
information provided, the Commission may make comments and, where appropriate, submit proposals to the
Committee established pursuant to Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC with a view to adapting Annex V to Regulation
(EEC) No 259/93;

Used single-use cameras, with batteries not included on List A

(1) Note that the mirror entry on List B (B1160) does not specify exceptions.
(2) This entry does not include scrap assemblies from electric power generation.
(3) PCBs are at a concentration level of 50 mg/kg or more.
(4) The 50 mg/kg level is considered to be an internationally practical

level for all wastes. However, many individual countries have

established lower regulatory levels (e.g. 20 mg/kg) for specific wastes.

(5) “Out-dated” means unused within the period recommended by the manufacturer.
(6) This entry does not include wood treated with wood-preserving chemicals.
(7) Note that even where low level contamination with Annex I materials initially exists, subsequent processes, including recycling processes,

may result in separated fractions containing significantly enhanced concentrations of those Annex I materials.

(8) The status of zinc ash is currently under review and there is a recommendation with United Nations Conference on Trade and

development (UNCTAD) that zinc ashes should not be dangerous goods.

(9) This entry does not include scrap from electrical power generation.
(10) Reuse can include repair, refurbishment or upgrading, but not major reassembly.
(11) In some countries these materials destined for direct reuse are not considered wastes.
(12) It is understood that such scraps are completely polymerised.
(13) — Post-consumer wastes are excluded from this entry.

— Wastes shall not be mixed.
— Problems arising from open-burning practices to be considered.

(*) Wherever possible, the code number of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, established by the Brussels
Convention on 14 June 1983 under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council (harmonised System) is listed opposite an entry.
This code may apply to both wastes and products. This Regulation does not include items which are not wastes. Therefore, the code —
used by customs officials in order to facilitate their procedures as well as by others — is only provided here to help in identifying wastes
that are listed and subject to this Regulation. However, corresponding official Explanatory Notes as issued by the Customs Cooperation
Council should be used as interpretative guidance to identify wastes covered by generic headings.
The indicative “ex” identifies a specific item contained within a heading of the Harmonised System code.
The code in bold in the first column is the OECD code: it consists of two letters (one for the list: Amber or Red, and one for the
category of waste: A, B, C, (. . .) followed by a number.

(**) This listing includes wastes in the form of ash, residue, slag, dross, skimming, scaling, dust, powder, sludge and cake, unless a material is

expressly listed elsewhere.
