ComplyOnSiteIs Quebec N12 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N12 is a Quebec residual hazardous-material category. The material has to meet the regulatory definition first, and still meet it once the exclusions and quantity rules are applied.
Record N12 as the Quebec MDR category. If the material is 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 movement between provinces, or into, out of or through Canada, 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 N12 cover?
This Schedule 4 category for organic solvent mixture. Under Quebec’s Environment Quality Act, s.70.9, only the permit holders named there may use an N-series mixture category.
