Use K071 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K071 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K071 is the federal listing for mercury-cell chlorine brine-purification sludge. 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 K071 cover?
Brine purification sludge from the mercury cell process in chlorine production, when separately prepurified brine is not used. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K071.

Is mercury-cell chlorine brine-purification sludge always Federal K071?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K071 | It is mercury-cell chlorine brine-purification sludge 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.
