Chromium compounds
National reporting D140: this constituent entry covers both hexavalent and trivalent chromium compounds.
ComplyOnSiteIs National D140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D140 is a DCCEEW hazardous-waste reporting category that groups data nationally. It doesn't make every material with this description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a load.
Use D140 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a national transport certificate. A movement needs the origin state or territory's accepted code and record, plus any destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls. A reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National D140 cover?
Chromium compounds fall here, in both the trivalent and hexavalent forms, whatever the named compound or process.
