Filter cake with listed-waste residue
National reporting N190: the filtered solids carry residue from a waste covered by the national list.
ComplyOnSiteIs National N190 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N190 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 N190 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 N190 cover?
Filter cake contaminated with residue from substances on the national list goes here. The residue must come from listed waste, so not any filtered solid qualifies.
