    Carbon tetrachloride high-boiling distillation residue

Use K016 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Heavy ends or distillation residues from producing carbon tetrachloride. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K016 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K016 is the federal listing for carbon tetrachloride high-boiling 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 K016 cover?

Heavy ends or distillation residue from making carbon tetrachloride. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K016.

Official wording
Heavy ends or distillation residues from the production of carbon tetrachloride.

Is carbon tetrachloride high-boiling distillation residue Federal K016?

CodeWhen it fits
K016Carbon tetrachloride high-boiling 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.
