Asbestos-like ceramic fibres
National reporting N230: use for ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.
Is National N230 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N230 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 N230 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 N230 cover?
Ceramic fibres that resemble asbestos in both physical and chemical characteristics. Being ceramic is not enough on its own.
