203, Nonhalogenated solvents.

    Nonhalogenated solvents

Liquid solvent with no halogenated solvent.

Liquid solvent with no halogenated solvent in it. A mix of halogenated and other solvents takes form 204.

Where does Texas form code 203 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, then the 3-digit form 203, then a class character. Form 203 describes a stream in the organic liquids category.

The form doesn't give a hazard status. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character after it.

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. Put any EPA waste codes beside it. The 3 form digits alone are not enough.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous, and 1, 2 and 3 are nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing backs the decision. Picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 203 cover?

Liquid solvents with nonhalogenated constituents, in the organic-liquid category. The solvent mix matters. A mixture with halogenated solvent has its own form, and pumpable residue from solvent recovery goes with sludges.

Is nonhalogenated solvent Texas form code 203 or 204?

CodeWhen it fits
203The liquid holds nonhalogenated solvents and no halogenated solvents.
204Halogenated and nonhalogenated solvents are mixed in the same stream.
202The solvent is halogenated, not nonhalogenated.
602The waste is pumpable still-bottom sludge from recovering nonhalogenated solvent.

A product name alone may not show the solvent mix. Use the composition to choose between 202, 203 and 204, and work out RCRA codes separately.
