Fire debris and washwater
N140 is a 2025 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.
ComplyOnSiteIs National N140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N140 is a DCCEEW reporting category that groups waste 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 real load.
Enter N140 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any required destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National N140 cover?
Fire debris and fire washwater go here. The common source is a fire or firefighting, and it takes solid debris as well as extinguishing washwater.
