    Equipment contaminated by PCBs

Use J08 for equipment contaminated by PCBs.

Equipment contaminated by PCBs on its surfaces, in Quebec's group of PCB-bearing hazardous materials.

Is Quebec J08 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. J08 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 J08 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 J08 cover?

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