Federal K source codes
Spent steel-finishing acid bath liquid
Use K062 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K062 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K062 is the federal listing for spent steel-finishing acid bath liquid. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal K062 cover?
Spent pickling liquid from steel finishing at a listed iron, steel, foundry, wire-drawing, cold-rolled product, pipe or tube facility, including the specified electrometallurgical sector. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K062.
- Official wording
- Spent pickle liquor from steel finishing operations of facilities within the iron and steel industry at steel works, blast furnaces (including coke ovens), rolling mills, iron and steel foundries, gray and ductile iron foundries, malleable iron foundries, steel investment foundries or other miscellaneous steel foundries, or at facilities in the electrometallurgical products (except steel) industry, steel wiredrawing and steel nails and spikes industry, coldrolled steel sheet, strip and bars industry or steel pipes and tubes industry.

Is spent steel-finishing acid bath liquid always Federal K062?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K062 | It is spent steel-finishing acid bath liquid from the named Schedule 12 process. |
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.
