    Antimony and antimony compounds

Tasmania publishes D170 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.

Antimony and antimony compounds, a toxic metal found in flame retardants, batteries and alloys.

Is Tasmania D170 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 D170 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 D170 cover?

Antimony metal and antimony compounds fall here. The entry takes the element as well as its compounds, not just one named compound or process.
