ComplyOnSiteIs Federal HAZ3 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal HAZ3 is the federal listing for used oil filters containing more than 6% oil. The source, make-up, concentration or test result must match the listing, 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. Also apply the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal HAZ3 cover?
HAZ3 covers used oil filters when the oil left in them is more than 6% of the filter's mass. Exactly 6%, or a different oily item, doesn't meet it.
