U014, Auramine.

  • U-listed waste

    Auramine

U-list unused product.

U-listed hazardous waste for unused auramine, a yellow dye & stain. It colors paper, leather & textiles.

Is U014 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the listing applies. U014 covers the unused auramine described below when it is discarded, including off-specification product and qualifying residues. It is a U-listed waste, not an acute P-listed one. The listing depends on the product and how it is discarded, not on a TCLP result alone.

U014 is nonacute hazardous waste. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put U014 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules and pharmaceutical containers.

What does U014 cover?

This covers unused auramine discarded in pure or technical grade, or in a formulation where it is the only active ingredient. It also covers off-specification batches, residues in nonempty containers and spill cleanup residues from those products. Inactive ingredients don't stop auramine counting as the sole active ingredient.

Is auramine waste always U014?

CodeWhen it fits
U014The unused chemical is discarded as a pure or technical grade product or as the sole active ingredient. Residues from that product also count.
Characteristic waste (D001–D043)A used chemical or a different formulation meets a hazardous-waste characteristic. Check any process listings that apply too.

Both can apply, since a listed unused product can also show a characteristic. Having this chemical in a manufacturing waste doesn't make the waste U014. Match the waste's origin, formulation and use history. Mixing listed waste with solid waste, or treating it, doesn't normally remove the listing. Only an exclusion, an exception or an approved delisting does.
