Use F012 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal F012 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F012 lists cyanide heat-treatment quench-water 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 F012 cover?
This is sludge from treating quench wastewater from metal heat treatment that used cyanide. It comes from the wastewater, not from an oil bath or from pot cleaning.
- Official wording
- Quenching wastewater treatment sludge from metal heat treating operations if cyanides are used in the process.

Is quench-water sludge from cyanide heat treatment Federal F012 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F012 | Sludge from treating quench wastewater from metal heat treatment 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.
