  • Federal E codes

    Phosphorus oxychloride

Use E131 when phosphorus oxychloride is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass.

Phosphorus oxychloride is a corrosive liquid that reacts violently with water. Waste at 100 mg/kg or more by mass.

Is Federal E131 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E131 is the federal listing for phosphorus oxychloride. 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 E131 cover?

E131 covers phosphorus oxychloride. Use it when phosphorus oxychloride 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.
