Chapter 11 is chemical surface treatment, coating of metals, and non-ferrous hydrometallurgy. Pickling acids, sludges and wash waters dominate. Mirror entries need a composition check, not a guess from the colour of the liquid.
Confirm the code in WM3 and on legislation.gov.uk. How to choose an EWC code. Digital waste tracking.

Digital waste tracking
Permitted receiving sites in England and Wales report each inbound load to the Digital Waste Tracking Service, and the EWC code is part of that record. WEEE Manager is listed on GOV.UK and sends the code with the rest of the receipt through the API.
