What is EWC code 16 06 03?
16 06 03 is the European Waste Catalogue (List of Waste) code for mercury-containing 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.
