    Spent cyanide electroplating bath liquid

Use F007 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Spent cyanide plating bath solutions from electroplating, a metal finishing process. Stream and source must both match.

Is Federal F007 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F007 is the listing for spent cyanide electroplating bath liquid. 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 F007 cover?

Liquid thrown out from a cyanide plating bath in an electroplating operation. That is the spent bath solution itself. Bottom sludge, cleaning liquid and heat-treatment waste have separate F codes.

Official wording
Spent cyanide plating bath solutions from electroplating operations.

Is spent cyanide electroplating bath liquid always Federal F007?

CodeWhen it fits
F007The discarded liquid is spent cyanide plating-bath solution from electroplating.

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.
