Use K106 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K106 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K106 is the listing for mercury-cell chlorine-process wastewater sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Federal K106 cover?
Sludge removed when treating wastewater from the mercury cell process in chlorine production. Both the waste form and the step that made it must match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K106.

Is mercury-cell chlorine-process wastewater sludge always Federal K106?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K106 | The waste is mercury-cell chlorine-process wastewater sludge from the named Schedule 12 process. |
Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what it holds and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still apply.
