(1)

References in Lists A and B to Annexes I, III and IV refer to Annexes of the Basel Convention.

(2)

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.

(3)

[X1 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.]

(4)

This entry does not include scrap from electrical power generation.

(5)

Re-use can include repair, refurbishment or upgrading, but not major reassembly.

(6)

In some countries these materials destined for direct re-use are not considered wastes.
