Is Federal E088 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E088 lists Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions also apply.

What does Federal E088 cover?

Use E088 when Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass. The material, source and any stated condition must match, so the name alone isn't enough.
