Is Federal L48 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L48 is the federal listing for P-Cresol. 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 L48 cover?

L48 covers P-Cresol. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 200.000 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.
