    Carbon tetrachloride

Use L40 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 0.5000 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 0.5 mg/L or more of carbon tetrachloride.

Is Federal L40 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L40 is the federal listing for carbon tetrachloride. 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 L40 cover?

L40 covers carbon tetrachloride. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 0.5000 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.
