The technical guidelines on transboundary movements of electrical and electronic waste and used electrical and electronic equipment, in particular regarding the distinction between waste and non waste under the Basel Convention was adopted, on an interim basis, by the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention at its twelfth meeting (Decision BC-12/5).
The technical guidelines provide guidance on transboundary movements of waste electrical and electronic equipment (referred to as e-waste) and used electrical and electronic equipment (referred to as used equipment) that may or may not be e-waste, in particular on the distinction between waste and non-waste.
