    Contaminated equipment

Use L01 for contaminated equipment.

Contaminated equipment, such as machinery & tools fouled with hazardous residue, in Quebec's group of contamination materials.

Is Quebec L01 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. L01 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 L01 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 L01 cover?

Schedule 4 category for contaminated equipment. It sits in Quebec's Contaminated hazardous materials group.
