    Mixed lab packs

Lab packs containing both chemicals and debris.

Mixed lab packs hold both old chemicals and debris. They suit a pack that fits neither the chemicals-only nor the debris-only form.

Where does Texas form code 003 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 003 and a final class character. Form 003 sits in the lab packs category.

The form says nothing about hazard. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character.

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment on a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Add the EPA waste codes beside it. The 3 form digits alone are incomplete.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, then federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous. 1, 2 and 3 are the nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing supports the decision.

What does Texas form code 003 cover?

A single lab pack holding both old chemicals and debris. The container inventory should show the mixed contents, not treat a chemicals-only pack and a debris-only pack as one pack.
