Acute hazardousF-listed waste
Unused chlorophenol formulations

F-list process waste.

Acute hazardous F-listed waste. Discarded unused formulations with tri-, tetra- or pentachlorophenol, or the pesticides made from them.

Is F027 hazardous waste?

Yes. F027 is an acute F-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code H for acute hazard.

F027 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test can add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing once its conditions are met. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put F027 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does F027 cover?

Discarded unused formulations containing tri-, tetra- or pentachlorophenol, or compounds made from them. It excludes hexachlorophene formulations made from prepurified 2,4,5-trichlorophenol as the only component.

Hazard code: H for acute hazard
Rule: 40 CFR 261.31

Are unused chlorophenol formulations F027, F026 or F023?

Code	When it fits
F027	Discarded unused formulations containing tri-, tetra- or pentachlorophenol, or compounds derived from those chlorophenols.
F026	Material was made on equipment formerly used with tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline manufacturing conditions.
F023	Material was made on equipment formerly used to make or use tri- or tetrachlorophenol in manufacturing.

The operation and waste form pick the listing, not the chemical content alone. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, since one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.

Which wastes take F027?

Waste	When it’s F027
Dioxin-listed process waste	An unused formulation contains tri-, tetra- or pentachlorophenol or a compound derived from one
