applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Entry A1180 on List A, which covered waste electrical and electronic assemblies or scrap contaminated with certain hazardous constituents, has been replaced by a new entry A1181 describing electrical and electronic waste in more detailed terms, including waste equipment, waste components, and wastes arising from processing such equipment or components, each defined by reference to Annex I constituents and Annex III characteristics.
A corresponding new entry, Y49, has been added to List A of Part 2, describing electrical and electronic waste, waste components, and processing wastes that do not contain or are not contaminated with Annex I constituents to the extent of exhibiting an Annex III characteristic.
The prior text did not contain either the A1181 entry or the Y49 entry.

Introductory notes
1. This Annex applies without prejudice to Directive 2008/98/EC.
2. This Annex consists of two parts. Article 39 further refers to the list of waste as referred to in Article 7 of … 427 unchanged words … on list B (B1160) does not specify exceptions.
A1160
Waste lead-acid batteries, whole or crushed
A1170
Unsorted waste batteries excluding mixtures of only list B batteries. Waste batteries not specified on list B containing Annex I constituents to an extent to render them hazardous.

Y49
Electrical and electronic waste:
Waste electrical and electronic equipment
not containing and not contaminated with Annex I constituents to an extent that the waste exhibits an Annex III characteristic, and
in which none of the components (e.g. certain circuit boards, certain display devices) contain or are contaminated with Annex I constituents to an extent that the component exhibits an Annex III characteristic
Waste components of electrical and electronic equipment (e.g. certain circuit boards, certain display devices) not containing and not contaminated with Annex I constituents to an extent that the waste components exhibit an Annex III characteristic, unless covered by another entry in Annex II or by an entry in Annex IX
Wastes arising from the processing of waste electrical and electronic equipment or waste components of electrical and electronic equipment (e.g. fractions arising from shredding or dismantling), and not containing and not contaminated with Annex I constituents to an extent that the waste exhibits an Annex III characteristic, unless covered by another entry in Annex II or by an entry in Annex IX.
List B (Waste from Appendix 4, Part II of the OECD Decision)The wastes numbered AB130, AC250, AC260 and AC270 have been deleted since they have been considered, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on waste (OJ L 114, 27.4.2006, p. 9, as repealed by Directive 2008/98/EC), to be non-hazardous and therefore not subject to the export prohibition in Article 39 of this Regulation. The waste numbered AC300 has been deleted since the waste in question is covered by entry A3210 in List A of Part 1.
