Not from this code alone. Federal C9 describes what the waste holds or how it behaves. Federal status depends on the full evidence and on the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.
For a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Read the movement rules and exclusions.

When more than one code looks possible, decide from the material's origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
