    Used surface-treatment solutions

Use F01 for otherwise-unlisted used liquid from surface treatment or coating.

Used liquid from surface treatment or coating not listed elsewhere, in Quebec's inorganic aqueous solutions group.

Is Quebec F01 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. F01 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 F01 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 F01 cover?
