Metal and plastic surface-treatment waste
New South Wales A100: surface treatment is the source; compare heat-treatment cyanide waste under A110.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW A100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. A100 describes waste that may need tracking. Part 4 tracking needs a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That test is separate from the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.
Where tracking applies, enter A100 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. The NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
What does NSW A100 cover?
Waste from operations that treat metal or plastic surfaces. The category follows the process that made the waste, and names no particular metal, plastic or treatment chemical.

Is surface-treatment waste NSW A100 or A110?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| A100 | The waste came straight from treating a metal or plastic surface. |
| A110 | The waste comes from cyanide heat treatment or tempering, not metal or plastic surface treatment. |
Match both the waste description and the movement scope. Another state or territory using the same code does not carry NSW's classification or tracking conditions with it.
