Federal E code for acetic acid. The acid in vinegar, used as a solvent & in chemical manufacturing at industrial concentrations.

Is Federal E003 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E003 lists acetic acid. The source, composition, amount or test result must match the listing, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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 E003 cover?

Use E003 when acetic acid is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass. Match the material, its source and any stated amount, test or use. The name alone doesn't settle it.
