    Equipment containing PCBs

Use J07 for equipment containing PCBs.

Equipment containing PCBs, such as transformers & capacitors, in Quebec's group of PCB-bearing hazardous materials.

Is Quebec J07 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. J07 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 J07 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 J07 cover?

Schedule 4 category for equipment with PCBs inside. It sits in Quebec's Hazardous materials containing PCBs or contaminated by PCBs group.
