    Beryllium and beryllium compounds

NT 2013 table entry D160; confirm that the current system still accepts it before use.

NT controlled waste for beryllium & its compounds. A toxic light metal used in alloys, ceramics & electronic parts.

Is NT D160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. A waste code here is an administrative description, not the statutory listed-waste test. NT licensing generally controls listed-waste activities that are commercial or done for a fee. The waste, the activity and the licence conditions all matter.

Every controlled-waste movement into or out of the NT needs a consignment authorisation and a Waste Transfer Certificate. Its waste-code field takes the accepted code with a description. The November 2024 guide makes online tracking within the NT voluntary, but licensed operators still keep records and report volumes under their licence conditions. For a controlled border movement, enter the accepted code in that field. Read the NT code currency and movement rules first.

What does NT D160 cover?

Beryllium metal and beryllium compounds go here. The entry covers the element as well as its compounds, not one named beryllium compound or process.
