Use HAZ6 within the exact inclusions, exclusions and thresholds in its Schedule 6 entry.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal HAZ6 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal HAZ6 is the federal listing for dioxin or furan waste above 100 ng/kg dioxin equivalent. 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 HAZ6 cover?
HAZ6 covers polychlorinated dibenzofurans and dibenzo-p-dioxins when together they exceed 100 ng/kg as a 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalent. The equivalent is worked out with the I-TEF factors in the Schedule 6 entry.

Is dioxin or furan waste above 100 ng/kg dioxin equivalent Federal HAZ6?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| HAZ6 | The I-TEF result for the named dioxins or furans exceeds 100 ng/kg as a 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalent. |
Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and what the tests show. A shared chemical or process word isn't enough, because the full wording and any federal exclusion still apply.
