    Perchlorates

Tasmania publishes D340 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.

Perchlorates, powerful oxidising salts found in fireworks, flares and rocket propellants, with a risk of fire when mixed with fuels.

Is Tasmania D340 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 D340 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 D340 cover?

Waste containing a perchlorate falls here. The entry covers the perchlorate group, not one named compound, process or physical form.
