    CFC solvents and cleaners

Use C03 for cFCs used for cleaning or as solvents.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), ozone-depleting chemicals used for cleaning or as solvents. Quebec lists them under organic solvents.

Is Quebec C03 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. C03 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 C03 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 C03 cover?

This Schedule 4 category is for CFCs used for cleaning or as solvents. It belongs to Quebec's Organic solvents group.
