E129, Phenol.

  • Federal E codes

    Phenol

Use E129 when phenol is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Phenol is a toxic, corrosive aromatic compound used in plastics & disinfectants. Waste at 100 mg/kg or more by mass.

Is Federal E129 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E129 is the federal listing for phenol. 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 E129 cover?

E129 covers phenol. Use it when phenol 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.
