National reporting
Clinical and related waste
R100 is a 2025 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.
ComplyOnSiteIs National R100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. R100 is a DCCEEW category for hazardous-waste reporting. It groups national data and does not make every material with that description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a real load.
Enter R100 in the national waste-data category field when you report under that standard. It is not a national transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any destination consignment authorisation an interstate controlled load needs. Use separate interstate movement controls for that, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National R100 cover?
Clinical and related wastes. Which healthcare streams count as related waste depends on the national list’s clinical-waste definition. The label alone names no material or treatment process.
