Classification of Hazardous Waste

Hazardous Waste Lists

Non-Specific Sources: F003 Solvents

If you are working only with F003 solvents, assuming before use that the solvents were pure, any solvent waste stream in an analytical process will meet the F003 listing.

If you are working with a combination of F003 solvents and other listed solvents (e.g., methylene chloride), and the other solvents are greater than 10% before use; the solvent waste will meet the F003 listing as well as the other appropriate listing - F002 in this example. (For example, a solvent waste that was 15% methylene chloride and 85% acetone, before use, is classified as F002, F003 waste.)

F003 solvents are listed only for ignitability, other F-listed solvents are also listed for toxicity.
