Title: DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL CHEMICAL PRODUCT FOR SOLID WASTE DETERMINATION VS. HAZARDOUS WASTE IDENTIFICATION
Document Date: 1996-08-01
Description: Discusses the definition of commercial chemical product (CCP) for purposes of definition of solid waste v. for purposes of definition of P-listed or U-listed hazardous waste. For purposes of the P- and U-lists, EPA intended to include only those CCPs and manufacturing chemical intermediates known by generic name listed in Section 261.33. P- and U- listed wastes exclude manufactured articles such as thermometers and fluorescent lamps. For purposes of Section 261.2, CCP means all types of unused commercial products, whether chemicals or not. Off-specification thermometers going for reclamation are CCPs going for reclamation and are not solid wastes. Thermometers going for disposal are not U151 and are only regulated if characteristic.
