What is EWC code 16 06 01?
16 06 01 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for lead batteries. It sits in chapter 16 (wastes not otherwise specified in the list). You use this six-digit code to classify the waste on a waste transfer note, a hazardous waste consignment note, or a Digital Waste Tracking record.
This is a hazardous waste code. Movements of hazardous waste need a hazardous waste consignment note (not an ordinary waste transfer note), and consignment notes must be kept for at least 3 years.
