Hazardous waste with formic acid at 100 mg/kg or more by total mass. A corrosive acid from leather, textile & cleaner use.

Is Manitoba EHS99 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule B threshold is met. EHS99 is a Category 3 Provincial Waste Code. It applies when formic acid reaches the Schedule B total concentration of 100 mg/kg by mass.

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

For regulated hazardous waste, enter EHS99 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules still apply.

What does Manitoba EHS99 cover?

EHS99 tests waste for formic acid. Measure the total concentration by mass. At 100 mg/kg or more, the waste is hazardous-waste Category 3 with code EHS99.
