    Filter cake with listed-substance residue

New South Wales N190: the filtered solids carry residue from a substance covered by the NSW Part.

Filter cake with residues of listed substances. The filtered solids carry residue from a substance in the New South Wales list.

Is NSW N190 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. N190 marks a waste that may need tracking. Tracking under Part 4 needs a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That test is separate from the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.

Where tracking applies, enter N190 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. NSW tracking exemptions still apply.

What does NSW N190 cover?
