ComplyOnSiteIs Quebec B03 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. B03 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 B03 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 B03 cover?
B03 is a Schedule 4 category for hydrocarbon sludge from settling or bottom sediment. It sits in Quebec's Organic solids and sludge group. Match it to the material's actual form, composition and source.
