Ignitability
A waste is ignitable (and is identified by the hazardous waste number D001) if a representative
sample of the waste has any of the following properties:
- It is a liquid and has a flash point less than 60 degrees Centigrade (140 degrees Fahrenheit).
- It is not a liquid and is capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes, and, when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard.
- It is an ignitable compressed gas as defined in the provisions of 49 C.F.R. §173.115. (Gas in a cylinder will likely have a flammable gas label.)
- It is an oxidizer as defined in the provisions of 49 C.F.R. §173.127.
Corrosivity
A waste is corrosive (and is identified by the hazardous waste number D002) if a representative
sample of the waste has either of the following properties:
- It is aqueous and has a pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to 12.5.
- It is a liquid and corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate of more than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test temperature of 55 degrees Centigrade (130 degrees Fahrenheit)—as determined by the test method specified in the National Association of Corrosivity Engineers (NACE) standard TM-01-69.
Reactivity
A waste is reactive (and is identified by the hazardous waste number D003) if a representative
sample of the waste has any of the following properties:
- It is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating.
- It reacts violently with water.
- It forms potentially explosive mixtures with water.
- When mixed with water, it generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes in a quantity sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment.
- It is a cyanide or sulfide-bearing waste that, when exposed to pH conditions between 2 and 12.5, can generate toxic gases, vapors, or fumes in a quantity sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment.
- It is capable of detonation or explosion if it is subjected to a strong initiating source or if heated under confinement.
- It is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and pressure.
- It is a forbidden explosive as defined in the provisions of 49 C.F.R. §173.54, or it meets the definition of a class 1/division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosive as defined in the provisions of 49 C.F.R. §173.50.
Toxicity
A waste is toxic if, using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, the extract
from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants listed
in Table 201a at a concentration equal to or greater than the respective values given in the table.
If the waste is a liquid and contains less than 0.5 percent filterable solids, then
the waste itself is considered to be the extract for the purposes of this rule.
A waste exhibits the characteristic of severe toxicity if the waste contains one part per million or more of a severely toxic substance listed in Table 202.
