H170, Wood-preservative chemical waste.
Australian Capital Territory
Wood-preservative chemical waste
Australian Capital Territory H170: the waste must arise from making, preparing or using chemicals that preserve wood.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT H170 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 H170 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 H170 cover?
Process waste from making, formulating or using wood-preserving chemicals falls here. The code follows that activity, not every item made of treated timber.
