Chromium compounds
Australian Capital Territory D140: this constituent entry covers both hexavalent and trivalent chromium compounds.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT D140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For ACT interstate controls, the waste must match a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and have a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, and the NEPM itself doesn't print these A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, put D140 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver complete their parts. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and any dangerous goods details. The ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT D140 cover?
Chromium compounds, including the trivalent and hexavalent forms. The entry covers chromium compounds as a chemical group, not one named compound or process.

Are chromium compounds always ACT D140?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D140 | The waste holds a chromium compound of a form on the ACT list. |
Use the ACT list's entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number serves a different purpose and doesn't create the ACT movement duty.
