ComplyOnSiteIs Quebec A01 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. A01 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material must first meet the regulatory definition and stay within it once the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.
Record A01 as the Quebec MDR category. For dangerous goods in transport, show the MDR code separately from the TDG shipping description. The category doesn't replace the UN number, shipping name, class or packing group.
A regulated interprovincial, import, export or transit movement may also need the federal movement document. Each document has its own scope, so the Quebec category alone doesn't settle the paperwork.
What does Quebec A01 cover?
A01 is a Schedule 4 category for used oil with 3 mg/kg PCB or less. It sits in Quebec's Mineral oils and grease group. Match it to the material's actual form, composition and source.

Is low-PCB used oil Quebec A01 or A02?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| A01 | Used oil with no more than 3 mg/kg PCB. |
| A02 | Used oil with PCB above 3 mg/kg but no higher than 50 mg/kg. |
Choose between categories by the material's composition, physical form, concentration and source. Similar labels aren't interchangeable. Transport classification stays a separate decision even when the Quebec category is clear.
