ComplyOnSiteIs Federal C50 hazardous waste?
Not from this code alone. Federal C50 describes what the waste holds or how it behaves. Federal status depends on the full evidence and on the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.
For a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Read the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal C50 cover?
Use C50 when the material contains polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin congeners (Y44). Match the material, its source and any stated amount, test or use. The name alone doesn't settle it.

|---|---|
