A110, Cyanide heat-treatment waste.
Australian Capital Territory
Cyanide heat-treatment waste
Australian Capital Territory A110: heat treatment or tempering must be the source; surface-treatment waste belongs under A100.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT A110 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For ACT interstate controls, the waste must match a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and have a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, and the NEPM itself doesn't print these A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, put A110 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver complete their parts. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and any dangerous goods details. The ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT A110 cover?
Waste from heat treatment or tempering that uses cyanide or leaves cyanide in the waste, as the list says. Cyanide waste from surface treatment goes under A100.

Is cyanide heat-treatment waste always ACT A110?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| A110 | The cyanide-bearing waste came from heat treatment or tempering. |
| A100 | The cyanide waste came from treating a metal or plastic surface. |
| A130 | The waste is classed by its inorganic cyanide content, not by a named process. |
Use the ACT list's entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number serves a different purpose and doesn't create the ACT movement duty.
