Is Manitoba EHS171 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule B threshold is met. EHS171 is a Category 3 Provincial Waste Code. Waste reaches it when zinc chloride makes up 100 mg/kg or more of the total mass.

The 3-digit provincial waste class goes in a separate field. It doesn't replace the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code.

For regulated hazardous waste, enter EHS171 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules apply.

What does Manitoba EHS171 cover?

Test the waste for zinc chloride. Work out the total concentration by mass and compare it with 100 mg/kg. At or above that Schedule B figure, the waste is hazardous-waste Category 3 and takes code EHS171.
