Where does Texas form code 006 go in the Texas waste code?
In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 006 and a final class character. Form 006 sits in the lab packs category.
Waste under this form is managed as hazardous waste, but the digits don't make a waste hazardous. Show that separately.
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 006 cover?
Discarded airbag inflators or modules handled through the hazardous-waste route. Record the unit type and whether the handler exemption applies before giving it the ordinary hazardous-waste stream code.

| Conditional airbag-handler exemption | The handler meets every storage, labeling, shipment, transport and recordkeeping condition of the airbag-waste exemption. |
