E130, Phosphorus.

  • Federal E codes

    Phosphorus

Use E130 when phosphorus is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Phosphorus is an element used in matches, fertilizer & munitions, ignitable in air. Waste at 100 mg/kg or more by mass.

Is Federal E130 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E130 is the federal listing for phosphorus. 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 E130 cover?

E130 covers phosphorus. Use it when phosphorus 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.
