    Other organic sludge and solids

Use B13 for unlisted organic sludge or solid; identify it.

Organic sludge or solid not listed elsewhere, in Quebec's organic solids & sludge group. The material must be named.

Is Quebec B13 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. B13 is a Quebec category for residual hazardous materials. The material must meet the regulatory definition first, and still fit after the exclusions and quantity rules.

Record B13 as the Quebec MDR category. If the material is dangerous goods in transport, show the MDR code apart from the TDG shipping description. The category doesn't replace the UN number, shipping name, class or packing group.

A regulated movement between provinces, or an import, export or transit, 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 B13 cover?

This Schedule 4 category is for organic sludge or solid that no other code lists. Say what the material is. It belongs to Quebec's Organic solids and sludge group.
