    Acetonecyanohydrin

Use E005 when acetonecyanohydrin is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Federal E code for acetonecyanohydrin. A cyanide-containing intermediate used to make acrylic plastics.

Is Federal E005 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. E005 is the federal listing for acetonecyanohydrin. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal E005 cover?

E005 covers acetonecyanohydrin. Use it when acetonecyanohydrin is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass. The material, its source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must match, because the name alone doesn't make the listing.
