    Benzyl chloride distillation residue

Use K015 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Still bottoms from distilling benzyl chloride. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K015 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K015 is the federal listing for benzyl chloride distillation residue. 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 K015 cover?

Still-bottom residue from distilling benzyl chloride. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K015.

Official wording
Still bottoms from the distillation of benzylchloride.

Is benzyl chloride distillation residue Federal K015?

CodeWhen it fits
K015Benzyl chloride distillation residue, from the process named in Schedule 12.

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.
