    Research, laboratory and teaching chemicals

Australian Capital Territory T100: new, unidentified or effects-unknown chemicals from research or teaching can fall here.

Controlled waste of chemicals from research, development or teaching, including unidentified ones with unknown health effects.

Is ACT T100 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 T100 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 T100 cover?

Chemical material discarded by research, development or teaching. That includes new or unidentified substances and substances with unknown effects on people or the environment.
