    Higher-concentration PCB liquids

Use J02 for pCB liquid at 1% (10,000 mg/kg) or more.

PCB oils & fluids at 10 000 mg/kg (1 %) or more, the higher-concentration liquids in Quebec's PCB group of hazardous materials.

Is Quebec J02 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. J02 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 J02 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 J02 cover?

Schedule 4 category for PCB liquid at 1% (10,000 mg/kg) or more. It sits in Quebec's Hazardous materials containing PCBs or contaminated by PCBs group.

Choose between categories by the material's composition, physical form, concentration and source. Similar labels aren't interchangeable. Transport classification is a separate decision, even when the Quebec category is clear.
