Note:
The legal classification of hazardous waste may differ from one country or jurisdiction to another. Facilities should, at minimum, follow local regulatory requirements and definitions for classifying wastes as hazardous or non-hazardous. If legal requirements do not exist, it is recommended that facilities use industry guidelines or internationally recognized definitions of hazards wastes such as those listed in the Basel Convention. Additionally, where industry guidelines are more stringent than local requirements, it is recommended that facilities follow industry guidelines.
