ACT guide entry D160; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT D160 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 D160 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 D160 cover?
Elemental beryllium and beryllium compounds. The entry covers the element as well as its compounds, whatever the compound or process.

Is beryllium waste always ACT D160?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D160 | The waste holds beryllium metal or a beryllium compound on the ACT list. |
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.
Which wastes take ACT D160?
| Waste | When it’s D160 |
|---|---|
| Beryllium waste | Analysis or process knowledge confirms beryllium in the discarded material. |
