ComplyOnSiteIs Federal H11 hazardous waste?
Not from this code alone. Federal H11 is one part of how hazardous waste and hazardous recyclable material are described. It names a characteristic, and federal status depends on the full evidence and on the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Federal H11 cover?
This covers harm that can be delayed or chronic after breathing, swallowing or skin contact, including cancer. It describes the health effect, not an immediate acute response. It is one part of the full IWIC description of the waste.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
