    Nitrilotriacetic acid

Use L23 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 40.00 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 40 mg/L or more of nitrilotriacetic acid.

Is Federal L23 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L23 lists nitrilotriacetic acid. 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 L23 cover?

L23 covers nitrilotriacetic acid. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 40.00 mg/L or more. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must also match. The name alone isn't enough.

Is nitrilotriacetic acid always Federal L23?

CodeWhen it fits
L23The Method 1311 extract result is 40.00 mg/L or more.

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.
