Explosive waste
Australian Capital Territory E120: use only where another explosives law does not already govern the material.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT E120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, enter E120 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT E120 cover?
Explosive waste falls here when the separate explosives legislation named in the list doesn't govern it. That carve-out is part of the entry.

- Responsibilities of controlled waste producers in the ACT
Is explosive waste always ACT E120?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| E120 | The waste is explosive and outside the separate explosives legislation. |
Use the ACT entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number is a different thing and doesn't set the ACT movement duty.
