(3) It is an ignitable compressed gas as defined in 49 CFR 173.300 and as determined by the test methods described in that regulation or equivalent test methods approved by the Administrator under Sections 260.20 and 260.21. [NOTE: 49 CFR 173.300 does not provide a definition of ignitable compressed gas. Definitions applicable to the section are given in 49 CFR 173.115.] (4) It is an oxidizer as defined in 49 CFR 173.151. [NOTE: 49 CFR 173.151 does not provide a definition of oxidizer. The term is defined in 49 CFR 173.127.] (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D001. (45 FR 33119, May 19, 1980, as amended at 46 FR 35247, July 7, 1981; 55 FR 22684, June 1, 1990) Section 261.22 -- Characteristic of Corrosivity. (a) A solid waste exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity if a representative sample of the waste has either of the following properties: (1) It is aqueous and has a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5, as determined by a pH meter using Method 9040 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical /Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW- 846, as incorporated by reference in Section 260.11 of this chapter. (2) It is a liquid and corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test temperature of 55 degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit) as determined by the test method specified in NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Standard TM -01 -69 as standardized in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical /Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW -846, as incorporated by reference in Section 260.11 of this chapter. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D002. (45 FR 33119, May 19, 1980, as amended at 46 FR 35247, July 7, 1981; 55 FR 22684, June 1, 1990; 58 FR 46049, Aug. 31, 1993) Section 261.23 -- Characteristic of reactivity. (a) A solid waste exhibits the characteristic of reactivity if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties: (1) It is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating. (2) It reacts violently with water. (3) It forms potentially explosive mixtures with water. (4) 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. -40-
