Clinical and related waste
ACT guide entry R100; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT R100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For ACT interstate controls, a waste needs a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT administrative list prints the code. The NEPM itself doesn't print these A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, put R100 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their parts. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and applicable dangerous goods details.
Check the ACT movement exclusions too.
What does ACT R100 cover?
Clinical and related wastes. The ACT’s clinical-waste definition decides which healthcare streams count as related waste. The label alone names no material or treatment process.

- Responsibilities of controlled waste producers in the ACT
