    Chromium compounds

Tasmania D140: this constituent entry covers both hexavalent and trivalent chromium compounds.

Chromium compounds in either form, such as chrome from plating baths, tanning liquors and pigments.

Is Tasmania D140 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, not just the waste description. The characteristic is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.

Where controlled waste needs movement documentation, enter D140 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. The Tasmanian handling and transport rules apply.

A controlled load coming in from another state needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation. Another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility.

What does Tasmania D140 cover?

Chromium compounds fall here, in trivalent and hexavalent forms. The entry covers chromium compounds as a group, not one named compound or process.
