NT 2013 table entry Z140; confirm that the current system still accepts it before use.
ComplyOnSiteIs NT Z140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. The code is an administrative description, not the current statutory listed-waste test. NT licensing for listed-waste activities generally concerns commercial activity or services 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 Waste Transfer Certificate. Enter the accepted administrative code, with a description, in the certificate's waste-code field, and check the NT code currency and movement rules. The November 2024 guide makes online tracking within the NT voluntary, but licensed operators still keep records and report volumes under their licence conditions.
What does NT Z140 cover?
Liquid waste outside the NT controlled-waste categories. The description works by exclusion, so liquids already classed as controlled waste don't fit.

The older table helps identify a description. It doesn't show what the portal accepts today or what an operator's licence allows, so get the movement approval before dispatch.
