Use F005 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal F005 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F005 is the listing for spent toluene, ketone and related 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 F005 cover?
Spent toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulphide, isobutanol, pyridine, benzene, 2-ethoxyethanol or 2-nitropropane. It takes blends with at least 10% by volume of those solvents or the named F001, F002 or F004 solvents before use, plus their recovery still bottoms.
- Official wording
- The following spent non-halogenated solvents: toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulphide, isobutanol, pyridine, benzene, 2-ethoxyethanol and 2-nitropropane; all spent solvent mixtures and blends containing, before use, a total of 10% or more (by volume) of one or more of the above spent non-halogenated solvents or those solvents listed as F001, F002 or F004; and still bottoms from the recovery of those spent solvents and spent solvent mixtures.

Is spent toluene, ketone and related solvents always Federal F005?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F005 | The 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.
