Is Federal E023 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. E023 is the federal listing for ammonium carbonate. 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 E023 cover?

E023 covers ammonium carbonate. Use it when ammonium carbonate 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.
