National reporting D290: barium sulphate is outside this barium-compound entry where the catalogue says so.
ComplyOnSiteIs National D290 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D290 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 D290 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 D290 cover?
Barium compounds fall here, but barium sulphate does not. The chemical matters, because a barium compound that is the sulphate is out.
