Use G01 for acidic organic liquid or sludge.

Organic liquids & sludges below pH 2, such as spent organic acids, in Quebec's group of acidic hazardous materials.

Is Quebec G01 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. G01 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 G01 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.
