Basel Convention Audit Checklist

Checklist Purpose: This checklist is designed as a practical self-assessment tool for anyone involved in the export of hazardous waste under the Basel Convention. It provides a preliminary check to determine if you are legally and logistically ready to move waste across borders. 

 

This checklist is designed to help you identify potential compliance gaps and evaluate your preparedness when planning a hazardous waste export under the Basel Convention framework. It does not replace legal approval but offers a starting point for understanding key requirements. 

If you are unsure what documentation is required, whether your waste falls under Annex I or II, or how to manage Prior Informed Consent (PIC), this tool helps you identify potential red flags and signals when it is time to bring in a partner.
