Fire debris and washwater
Tasmania publishes N140 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.
ComplyOnSiteIs Tasmania N140 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put N140 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility. Follow the Tasmanian handling and transport rules.
What does Tasmania N140 cover?
Fire debris and fire washwater go here. The common source is a fire or firefighting, and it takes solid debris as well as extinguishing washwater.
