Use K169 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K169 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K169 lists refinery crude-oil storage-tank sediment. 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 still apply.
What does Federal K169 cover?
Crude oil storage tank sediment generated during petroleum refining. The waste form and the process that made it must both match. A similar material from another operation isn't K169.

| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K169 | Refinery crude-oil storage-tank sediment from the named Schedule 12 process. |
Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what it contains and what the tests show. Sharing a chemical or process word with the listing isn't enough. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
