Asbestos-like ceramic fibres
Western Australia N230: use for ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.
ComplyOnSiteIs WA N230 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. N230 is a WA controlled-waste category. Regulation 3 covers industrial, commercial, medical, laboratory and sewage-treatment waste, but not domestic waste. Waste that a Class I, II or III landfill can lawfully accept is excluded, with exceptions such as asbestos, tyres and clinical waste.
For a tracked load, enter N230 in the controlled-waste category field on the DWER tracking form. DWER issues the number. The authorised carrier or driver records collection and transport, and the receiving facility closes the record. Record the holder, amount, containment and destination. The WA load thresholds and exclusions set which loads are tracked.
What does WA N230 cover?
Ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical properties are like asbestos. Both the physical and the chemical properties must be similar.
