ComplyOnSiteIs Federal C51 hazardous waste?
Not from this code alone. Federal C51 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 C51 cover?
Use C51 when the material contains hydrocarbons and their oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur compounds. Match the material, its source and any stated amount, test or use. The name alone doesn't settle it.

Is waste with hydrocarbons and their oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur compounds always Federal C51?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| C51 | the material contains hydrocarbons and their oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur compounds. |
When more than one code looks possible, decide from the material's origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
