    Pentachlorophenol production and formulation waste

Use F021 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Process waste from producing or formulating pentachlorophenol, a wood preservative. Stream and source must both match.

Is Federal F021 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F021 lists pentachlorophenol 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 F021 cover?

This is waste from making pentachlorophenol, or from using it or an intermediate for its derivatives as a reactant, intermediate or formulation component. Wastewater and spent carbon from hydrogen-chloride purification are excluded.

Official wording
Waste from the production or manufacturing use (as a reactant, chemical intermediate or component in a formulating process) of pentachlorophenol or of intermediates used to produce its derivatives, excluding wastewater and spent carbon from hydrogen chloride purification.

Is pentachlorophenol production waste Federal F021 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F021Waste from making or formulating pentachlorophenol, 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.
