Federal E code for ammonia & ammonia solutions. Found in cleaners, refrigeration & fertilizer manufacture.

Is Federal E016 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. E016 is the federal listing for ammonia. 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 E016 cover?

E016 covers ammonia. Use it when ammonia 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.

Decide from the material's real 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 decide.
