ComplyOnSiteIs National D160 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D160 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 D160 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 D160 cover?
Elemental beryllium and beryllium compounds both fall here, whatever the named compound or process.
