    Acetic acid

Manitoba total-mass limit: 100 mg/kg for Acetic acid.

Sharp-smelling acid found in vinegar & cleaners. Manitoba sets total-mass a limit of 100 mg/kg.

Is Manitoba EHS3 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule B threshold is met. EHS3 is a Category 3 Provincial Waste Code. It applies when acetic acid reaches the Schedule B total mass-concentration threshold of 100 mg/kg.

The 3-digit provincial waste class goes in a separate field. It describes the waste stream and doesn't replace the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code.

For regulated hazardous waste, enter EHS3 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules apply.

What does Manitoba EHS3 cover?

This code tests waste for acetic acid. Measure total concentration by mass and compare it with 100 mg/kg. At or above that Schedule B figure, the waste is hazardous-waste Category 3 and takes code EHS3.
