Is Federal L37 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L37 is the federal listing for benzo[a]pyrene. The recorded source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still hold.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions go with it.

What waste does Federal L37 cover?

L37 covers benzo[a]pyrene. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 0.001 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.

CodeWhen it fits
L37The Method 1311 extract result is 0.001 mg/L or more.

Pick the code from the material's real origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still rule.
