Consignment note

HWCN, hazardous waste consignment note

The short answer

The transfer note for hazardous waste. It carries a unique consignment code, travels with the load in parts that each party keeps, and is held for three years rather than two.

In practice

It asks for more than a transfer note does: the hazardous properties, the chemical and physical description, the container types, and the process that produced the waste. Getting the hazard codes wrong on one is a common and expensive mistake.

Where LoadSnap touches it

LoadSnap runs the full consignment note workflow, including hazard codes, POPs, numbering and the three copies.
