◄
Useful to have open-ended list of hazardous components & substances »
Useful to have open-ended list of hazardous components & substances
Useful to have open-ended list of hazardous components & substances☜An argument supporting the addition of a list of components and substances deemed to be hazards in electronics. The argument specifies that the list should be non-limited, non-exhaustive, and/or open-ended.☜FFFACD
◄
"E-waste" is broad category with highly variable national definitions »

"E-waste" is broad category with highly variable national definitions☜☜FFFACD
◄
All listed wastes may be classified as non-hazardous »
All listed wastes may be classified as non-hazardous
All listed wastes may be classified as non-hazardous☜Annex III of the Basel Convention can support the classification of a given substance as non-hazardous if it can be demonstrated to not exhibit characteristics listed in Annex III.☜FFFACD
◄
Basel Convention Annexes already define hazardousness »
Basel Convention Annexes already define hazardousness
Basel Convention Annexes already define hazardousness☜An argument opposing the inclusion of a separate Annex in the Technical Guidelines that would list hazards in electronic equipment. Further, the argument notes that Basel Convention already contains relevant lists in Annexes I, VIII, and IX.☜FFFACD
◄
Better to list characteristics of hazards, not substances »
Better to list characteristics of hazards, not substances
Better to list characteristics of hazards, not substances☜An argument opposing the addition of a fixed list of substances or components that are designated as hazardous. Since the use of specific substances and components can change rapidly, it is better to list the characteristics that make a given substance or component hazardous.☜FFFACD
◄
Proposed list is too narrow in scope »
Proposed list is too narrow in scope
Proposed list is too narrow in scope☜The proposed list of hazardous substances focuses mostly on consumer equipment, especially computers and displays. As a consequence, the list will provide minimal guidance on a a wide variety of other electronic equipment e.g., medical equipment or professional equipment.☜FFFACD
◄
Proposed list of hazards contains inaccuracies »
Proposed list of hazards contains inaccuracies
Proposed list of hazards contains inaccuracies☜An argument that holds that the list of example hazardous materials in electronic equipment proposed by BAN to be included in the Guidelines (as Annex II bis) contains inaccuracies that not all Basel Parties have agreed to.☜FFFACD
◄
Governments should have interpretive flexibility on waste/non-waste »
Governments should have interpretive flexibility on waste/non-waste
Governments should have interpretive flexibility on waste/non-waste☜Governments should have some flexibility on determining the distinction between waste and non-waste electronics. Governments should be able to apply national legislation that decides whether electronic equipment exported for reuse are or are not subject to the Basel Convention.☜FFFACD
◄
Countries should develop own lists of hazardous equipment »
Countries should develop own lists of hazardous equipment
Countries should develop own lists of hazardous equipment☜A position that holds that individual countries should develop their own lists of equipment, components and substances that are deemed to be hazardous with respect to national legislation.☜FFFACD
◄
Hazardousness results from intrinsic properties »
Hazardousness results from intrinsic properties
Hazardousness results from intrinsic properties☜A position that holds that the hazardousness of substances or components derives from their built-in physical and/or chemical characteristics, not from how those substances or components are managed or disposed of.☜FFFACD
◄
Use existing Basel Convention provisions to decide waste/non-waste »
Use existing Basel Convention provisions to decide waste/non-waste
Use existing Basel Convention provisions to decide waste/non-waste☜A position that holds that the Basel Convention itself is already designed to distinguish wastes over which it has jurisdiction and non-wastes over which it holds no jurisdiction. In particular, Articles 3, 4, and 13 of the Convention.☜FFFACD

Whole-part distinctions difficult to make »
Whole-part distinctions difficult to make
Whole-part distinctions difficult to make☜Whole-part relationships between equipment and its components are difficult to make and the relationship can change. For example, a computer is comprised of components that are sometimes marketed as standalone components (e.g., keyboard, monitor, RAM).☜FFFACD

Exempt medical devices »
Exempt medical devices
Exempt medical devices☜A position that holds that Technical Guidelines need to exempt medical devices from trade restrictions. The need arises because various forms of test, repair, and root cause analysis may be cost prohibitive in country of export and, also, may be a regulatory requirement.☜FFFACD

Not economical to have OEM repair centres in every country
Not economical to have OEM repair centres in every country☜A position that supports the position that there should be exemptions for some situations in which non-waste equipment can be shipped for repair, refurbishment and/or reuse.
