ComplyOnSiteIs National D340 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D340 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 D340 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 D340 cover?
Perchlorate waste falls here. The entry covers the whole chemical group, whatever the named perchlorate, process or physical form.
