ComplyOnSiteIs National F100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. F100 is a DCCEEW hazardous-waste reporting category that groups data nationally. It doesn't make every material with this description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a load.
Use F100 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a national transport certificate. A movement needs the origin state or territory's accepted code and record, plus any destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls. A reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National F100 cover?
Waste from making, formulating or using inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers or varnishes falls here. It follows the activity and product group, so no single solvent or colourant is needed.
- Official wording
- Waste from the production, formulation and use of inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers and varnish
- Reporting group
