    Other spent halogenated solvents

Use F002 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Spent halogenated solvents from non-specific sources, other than the degreasing solvents in F001.

Is Federal F002 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F002 is the listing for other spent halogenated solvents. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal F002 cover?

The named spent halogenated solvents, including tetrachloroethylene, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene and chlorobenzenes. A blend counts if it held at least 10% by volume of the named F001, F002, F004 or F005 solvents before use. Still bottoms from recovering those solvents or blends are included.

Official wording
The following spent halogenated solvents: tetrachloroethylene, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1 trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, 1,1,2 trichloro 1,2,2 trifluoroethane, ortho dichlorobenzene, trichlorofluoromethane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane; all spent solvent mixtures and blends containing, before use, a total of 10% or more (by volume) of one or more of the above halogenated solvents or those listed as F001, F004 or F005; and still bottoms from the recovery of those spent solvents and spent solvent mixtures.

Is other spent halogenated solvents always Federal F002?

CodeWhen it fits
F002The spent solvent or recovery bottom is a named solvent or a blend with 10% or more of them before use.

Decide from the material's origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
