Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity below commercial standards or containing process contaminants
Halogenated waste or refuse not suitable for general use shifts from Chapter 29 compounds.
If primarily chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) with HFC-23 impurity
Principal compound determines classification; HCFC-22 would use 2903.71 per numerical order.
