Parts washer solvent
The original formulation and use decide an F listing. Testing or reliable knowledge decides characteristic codes. See the parts washer solvent guide for exclusions and management routes.
F-listed waste
Spent halogenated solvents used for degreasing
The washer removed grease using an original formulation covered by F001
When to use F001F-listed waste
Spent halogenated solvents
The washer's original formula meets F002 composition conditions regardless of degreasing use
When to use F002F-listed waste
Spent non-halogenated solvents: acetone, xylene and related solvents
Washer fluid was used neat or in a blend meeting F003 before-use conditions
When to use F003F-listed waste

ComplyOnSiteWhich RCRA codes apply to parts washer solvent?
The original formulation and use decide an F listing. Characteristic codes come from testing or reliable knowledge.
| Code | When it applies |
|---|---|
| F001 | The washer removed grease with an original formulation that falls under F001 |
| F002 | The washer's original formula meets the F002 composition conditions, whether or not it degreased |
| F003 | Washer fluid was used neat or in a blend that meets the F003 before-use conditions |
| F004 | The original formula meets F004's named-solvent or blend test |
| F005 | The before-use ingredients meet the F005 composition conditions |
| D001 | A representative sample of the spent fluid meets the flash-point criterion or another D001 physical-form test |
| D018 | Benzene in the leachate reaches the TCLP limit |
| D019 | Carbon tetrachloride in the leachate reaches the TCLP limit |
| D021 | Chlorobenzene in the leachate reaches the TCLP limit |
| D039 | Tetrachloroethylene in the leachate reaches the TCLP limit |
| D040 | Trichloroethylene in the leachate reaches the TCLP limit |
How do I prove the code for parts washer solvent?
Record whether the washer was used for degreasing. Assess an aqueous cleaner from its ingredients and contamination.
