    Asbestos-like ceramic fibres

South Australia N230: use for ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.

Ceramic-based fibres similar to asbestos in South Australia. Their physical & chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.

Is South Australia N230 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is the SA EPA operational description. A code can be in the operational list without being in the table of waste requiring tracking. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

N230 is in the SA table of waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia N230 cover?

Ceramic fibres with physical and chemical properties like asbestos. They must be ceramic, and the likeness to asbestos rests on both their physical and chemical characteristics.

Is asbestos-like ceramic fibres South Australia N230 or another code?
