Federal constituent code for waste containing silver compounds, such as photo-processing chemicals & plating baths.

Is Federal C10 hazardous waste?

Not from this code alone. Federal C10 is one part of the classification that describes hazardous waste or hazardous recyclable material. It records a constituent or characteristic. Federal status depends on the full evidence and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal C10 cover?

C10 covers silver compounds. Use it when the material contains them. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone doesn't settle it.
