How do Canadian codes for parts washer solvent differ?

Quebec gives non-halogenated parts-washer solvents as C02 examples. Match the real solvent to the organic-solvent category, because a label like degreaser doesn't tell you what's in it.

In Quebec, C01 needs total organic halogens above 0.15% and C02 takes 0.15% or less. C03 covers chlorofluorocarbons used as solvents or cleaners.

How should parts washer solvent be described for collection in Canada?

Record what the solvent is and what has contaminated it. Describe any separate oil or water layer, rather than calling all parts-washer waste solvent.
