ComplyOnSiteIs Queensland A100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. A100 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste is regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before you decide whether a movement is trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.
For a tracked load, enter A100 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator supplies Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it by the approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.
What does Queensland A100 cover?
Waste from operations that treat metal or plastic surfaces. The category is set by the process that made the waste, not by a named metal, plastic or treatment chemical.

| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| A100 | The waste arose directly from surface treatment of metal or plastic. |
| A110 | The waste comes from cyanide heat treatment or tempering, not metal or plastic surface treatment. |
In Queensland's tracking list an asterisk sets precedence when several descriptions fit. It is not an EWC hazardous-waste marker. A resource leaves the waste regime only once it meets its end-of-waste code or approval conditions.
