## Is D001 hazardous waste?

**Yes.** D001 is hazardous waste when a representative sample meets any ignitability test. It rests on tested or known physical behavior. A material name or a flammable ingredient is not enough on its own.

D001 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required [hazardous waste manifest](https://complyonsite.com/tools/hazardous-waste-manifest), put D001 in Item 13. See [VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?list=routes).

## What does D001 cover?

D001 covers a liquid with a flash point below 60 °C (140 °F), and a nonliquid that causes fire by friction, moisture or spontaneous change and burns vigorously. It covers a compressed gas that is flammable in a mixture of 13% or less with air, has a flammable range over 12%, or is classed by DOT as flammable or extremely flammable. It also covers an oxidizer that readily gives off oxygen, including qualifying organic peroxides. The liquid rule leaves out a solution under 24% alcohol by volume with at least 50% water by weight.

- **Hazard**: I, ignitable
- **Rule**: [40 CFR 261.21](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-I/part-261/section-261.21)

## Is ignitable waste D001 or F003?

| Code | When it fits |
| --- | --- |
| D001 | A representative sample meets at least 1 of the 4 federal ignitability criteria. |
| [F003](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?code=f003) | A spent solvent meets F003. Its ignitability-only exception depends on 40 CFR 261.3(g). |
| No D001 code | The liquid fits the alcohol-and-water exception and meets no other ignitability criterion. |

Test the criterion for the waste’s physical form. A flash-point result rules qualifying liquids, but it doesn't replace the separate nonliquid, compressed-gas and oxidizer tests. Check other listings and characteristics too.

## Which wastes take D001?

| Waste | When it’s D001 |
| --- | --- |
| [Ignitable liquid](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?waste=ignitable-liquid) | Its flash point is below 140°F (60°C). |
| Ignitable solid | It can start a fire by friction, absorbing moisture or spontaneous chemical change, and burns hard and long. |
| Waste oxidizer | It readily gives off oxygen and feeds burning, or is an organic peroxide under 40 CFR 261.21(a)(4). |
| [Contaminated soil](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?waste=contaminated-soil) | The excavated material is ignitable under the federal test. |
| [Demolition debris](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?waste=demolition-debris) | The debris is ignitable. |
| Asphalt waste | A representative sample of asphalt waste meets the D001 test for its physical form. |
| [Paint and paint waste](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?waste=paint) | Liquid paint meets the [flash-point criterion](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?list=ignitability). |
| Paint thinner | Liquid paint thinner meets the [flash-point criterion](https://complyonsite.com/tools/rcra-waste-codes?list=ignitability). |

## Which codes sit beside D001?
