What does this mean in practice?
This is the official classification for discarded equipment containing or contaminated by pcbs other than those mentioned in 16 02 09. Because this is a hazardous waste (indicated by the asterisk in the official catalogue), it requires specialised handling, consignment notes, and cannot be mixed with general waste.
