    Chlorophenol production and formulation waste

Use F020 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Process waste from the production or use of chlorophenols, in a pesticide & wood preservative family.

Is Federal F020 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F020 lists chlorophenol production and formulation waste. 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 F020 cover?

This is waste from making or using tri- or tetrachlorophenol, or the intermediates for their pesticide derivatives, as a reactant, intermediate or formulation component. Wastewater, spent carbon from hydrogen-chloride purification and waste from making hexachlorophene from highly purified 2,4,5-trichlorophenol are excluded.

Official wording
Waste from the production or manufacturing use (as a reactant, chemical intermediate or component in a formulating process) of tri- or tetrachlorophenol or of intermediates used to produce their pesticide derivatives, excluding wastewater and spent carbon from hydrogen chloride purification and waste from the production of hexachlorophene from highly purified 2,4,5-trichlorophenol.

Is chlorophenol production waste Federal F020 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F020Waste from making or formulating tri- or tetrachlorophenol, and not an excluded stream.

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.
