Federal K source codes
Spent refinery hydrorefining catalyst
Use K172 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K172 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K172 lists spent refinery hydrorefining catalyst. 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 K172 cover?
Discarded spent hydrorefining catalyst generated during petroleum refining, including guard beds used to desulfurize feeds to other catalytic reactors, excluding inert support media. The waste form and the process that made it must both match. A similar material from another operation isn't K172.

Is spent refinery hydrorefining catalyst always Federal K172?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K172 | Spent refinery hydrorefining catalyst 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.
