Asbestos-like ceramic fibres
Tasmania N230: use for ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.
Is Tasmania N230 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 some controlled wastes of its own, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put N230 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. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't give the receiving facility that.
What does Tasmania N230 cover?
Ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical characteristics resemble asbestos. The fibres themselves are ceramic.
