ComplyOnSiteIs Federal F008 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F008 lists cyanide electroplating bath-bottom sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Federal F008 cover?
This is sludge from the bottom of an electroplating bath that used cyanide. The spent bath liquid and the stripping and cleaning baths are other waste streams.

Is cyanide plating sludge Federal F008 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F008 | Sludge from the bottom of an electroplating bath that used cyanide. |
Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
