National reporting
Cyanide heat-treatment waste
National reporting A110: heat treatment or tempering must be the source; surface-treatment waste belongs under A100.
ComplyOnSiteIs National A110 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. This is a DCCEEW hazardous-waste reporting category that groups data nationally. It doesn't make every material with the description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for an actual load.
Use A110 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It is not a national transport certificate. A movement needs the accepted code and record of the state or territory of origin, plus any destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load.
For national reporting, enter A110 in the national waste-data category field. A reporting code gives no state movement classification, so apply the separate interstate movement controls.
What does National A110 cover?
Waste from heat treatment or tempering where cyanide is used or the resulting waste contains cyanide, as the applicable list states. Surface-treatment cyanide waste goes under A100.
