Is Federal E171 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E171 is the listing for zinc acetate. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal E171 cover?

E171 covers zinc acetate at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must match too. The name alone doesn't make it E171.
