Use K140 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for sweepings, off-spec product & spent filter media from making 2,4,6-tribromophenol.

Is Federal K140 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K140 is the listing for 2,4,6-Tribromophenol production sweepings and filter media. 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 K140 cover?

Floor sweepings, off-specification product and spent filter media from making 2,4,6-tribromophenol. Both the waste form and the step that made it must match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K140.
