Use C02 for organic solvent with total organic halogen no higher than 0.15%.

Organic solvent with total organic halogen at 0.15% or less, such as thinners. Quebec lists it under organic solvents.

Is Quebec C02 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. C02 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 C02 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 C02 cover?

Category group: Organic solvents
Official wording: Quebec hazardous-material management rules — Schedule 4 categories

Code	When it fits

Decide between categories by the material's composition, physical form, concentration and source. Similar labels aren't interchangeable. Transport classification is a separate decision, even when the Quebec category is clear.
