~ If (4) It is an oxidizer as defined in 49 CFR 173.151. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EP A Hazardous Waste Number of 0001. (45 FR 33119, May 19, 1980, as amended at 46 FR 35247, July 7, 1981; 55 FR 22684, June 1, 1990) Iff 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," EP A 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," EP A 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 EP A Hazardous Waste Number of 0002. (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) Ii 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 detonat- ing. (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 quan- tity sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment. (5) It is a cyanide or sulfide bearing waste which, if 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. (6) It is capable of detonation or explosive reaction ifit is subjected to a strong initiating source or if heated under confinement. (7) It is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and pressure. , (8) It is a forbidden explosive as defined in 49 CPR 173.51, or a Class A explo- sive as defined in 49 CFR 173.53 or a Class B explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.88. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of reactivity has the EP A Hazardous Waste Number of 0003. (45 FR 33119, May 19, 1980, as amended at 55 FR 22684, June 1, 1990) D-2
