Acidic liquids and solid acids
Australian Capital Territory B100: the material may be an acidic liquid or an acid in solid form.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT B100 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 B100 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 B100 cover?
Acidic solutions and acids in solid form. The entry covers both forms and gives no single pH limit. Victoria has a separate B100 pair with its own pH threshold.

Are acidic liquids and solid acids always ACT B100?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| B100 | The waste is an acidic solution or an acid in solid form. |
| C100 | The waste is alkaline or a solid alkali, not acidic. |
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.
