Is Federal C34 hazardous waste?

Not from this code alone. Federal C34 is one classification component for hazardous waste or hazardous recyclable material. It records a constituent or characteristic. The full evidence and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25 decide the federal status.

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 C34 cover?

Federal C34 covers biocides and phyto-pharmaceutical substances. Use it when the material contains biocides and phyto-pharmaceutical substances. Match the material, its source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone doesn't settle it.
