Asbestos waste
N220 is a 2015 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.
ComplyOnSiteIs National N220 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N220 is a DCCEEW category for hazardous-waste reporting. It groups national data and does not make every material with that description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a real load.
Enter N220 in the national waste-data category field when you report under that standard. It is not a national transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any destination consignment authorisation an interstate controlled load needs. Use separate interstate movement controls for that, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National N220 cover?
Asbestos waste and discarded asbestos-containing material. Each state draws its own boundary, but the national source generally treats material containing asbestos fibres, soil included, as asbestos-containing. Victoria gives asbestos-bearing soil its own N120 description.
