E127, Paraformaldehyde.

  • Federal E codes

    Paraformaldehyde

Use E127 when paraformaldehyde is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Paraformaldehyde is a white solid polymer that releases formaldehyde, used in resins & fumigation. Limit is 100 mg/kg.

Is Federal E127 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E127 is the federal listing for paraformaldehyde. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal E127 cover?

E127 covers paraformaldehyde. Use it when paraformaldehyde is present at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. Match the material, its source and any stated condition, because the name alone doesn't make it a listed waste.
