Waste not yet characterised
NT 2013 table entry Z990; confirm that the current system still accepts it before use.
ComplyOnSiteWhere does NT Z990 go on the Waste Transfer Certificate?
It denotes waste not yet characterised. The older administrative table labels Z990 as not characterised. It gives no composition, process information or hazardous properties, and it can't settle the statutory listed-waste position of an unidentified load.
The Waste Transfer Certificate needs an accurate waste description as well as an accepted code. Find out what the material is, then confirm the current code and receiving route with NT EPA or the licensed handler. A controlled border movement still needs its authorisation and movement certificate, and the placeholder is no permission to dispatch an unidentified load. Enter the accepted code in the certificate's waste-code field, and check the NT code currency and movement rules.
What does NT Z990 cover?
The NT table uses Z990 for waste not yet characterised. Its composition and hazardous properties stay undetermined until the material is identified and assessed.

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.
