Inorganic cyanides
National reporting A130: use for inorganic cyanide itself, rather than a cyanide-bearing process waste.
ComplyOnSiteIs National A130 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 A130 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 A130 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 A130 cover?
Inorganic cyanides, when the waste is classified by that chemical content and not by a more specific cyanide-using process entry. It doesn't extend to every cyanide-bearing process waste.

Is inorganic cyanides always National A130?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| A130 | The waste contains an inorganic cyanide and no listed cyanide process category better describes its origin. |
National examples illustrate the reporting category. They don't set a state's code, classification threshold or receiving-facility permission. Choose the state list before preparing transport paperwork.
Which wastes take National A130?
| Waste | When it’s A130 |
|---|---|
| Inorganic cyanides | The material is inorganic cyanide, rather than residue from a named cyanide process. |
