    Other inorganic sludge and solids

Use E22 for inorganic sludge or solids not listed under E01–E21 or E23–E24; identify the material.

Inorganic sludge or solids not listed under E01 to E21 or E23 & E24, such as mineral sludge. The material must be named.

Is Quebec E22 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. E22 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material must meet the regulatory definition first, and still meet it after the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.

Record E22 as the Quebec MDR category. For 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 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 E22 cover?
