EPA HAZ WASTE DETERMINATION (40 CFR) §261.21 Characteristic of ignitability continued. (4) It is an oxidizer. An oxidizer for the purpose of this subchapter is a substance such as a chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter (see Note 4). (i) An organic compound containing the bivalent -O-O- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals must be classed as an organic peroxide unless: (A) The material meets the definition of a Class A explosive or a Class B explosive, as defined in §261.23(a)(8), in which case it must be classed as an explosive, (B) The material is forbidden to be offered for transportation according to 49 CFR 172.101 and 49 CFR 173.21, (C) It is determined that the predominant hazard of the material containing an organic peroxide is other than that of an organic peroxide, or (D) According to data on file with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration in the U.S. Department of Transportation (see Note 3), it has been determined that the material does not present a hazard in transportation. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D001. Note 1:A description of the Bureau of Explosives' Flame Projection Apparatus, Open Drum Apparatus, Closed Drum Apparatus, and method of tests may be procured from the Bureau of Explosives.
