Perchlorates
NSW D340: within NSW or interstate; the listed hazardous-characteristic test still applies.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW D340 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. D340 marks waste that may need tracking. Part 4 requires a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That is a tracking test, not the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.
Where Part 4 tracking applies, enter D340 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's applicable Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. The NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
What does NSW D340 cover?
Waste containing a perchlorate. The entry names the chemical group, not one perchlorate compound, process or physical form.
