    Infectious substances

Use C35 when the material contains infectious substances.

Federal constituent code for waste containing infectious substances, such as clinical and lab waste.

Is Federal C35 hazardous waste?

Not from this code alone. Federal C35 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 C35 cover?

Federal C35 covers infectious substances. Use it when the material contains infectious substances. Match the material, its source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone doesn't settle it.
