    Spent anodes and cathodes

Use E07 for spent anodes and cathodes.

Spent anodes & cathodes from smelting & electrolysis, in Quebec's group of inorganic solids & sludge.

Is Quebec E07 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. E07 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 E07 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 E07 cover?
