Australian Capital Territory D290: barium sulphate is outside this barium-compound entry where the catalogue says so.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT D290 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, enter D290 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT D290 cover?
Barium compounds fall here, but barium sulphate doesn't. The exact chemical decides, so a barium compound is not enough when it is the sulphate.

Is barium waste always ACT D290?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D290 | The waste is a barium compound other than barium sulphate. |
Use the ACT entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number is a different thing and doesn't set the ACT movement duty.
