    Acidic liquids and solid acids

Queensland B100: the material may be an acidic liquid or an acid in solid form.

Acids as liquids, or as solids such as crystals & flakes. A tracked waste category on the Queensland list.

Is Queensland B100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. B100 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 B100 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 B100 cover?

Acidic solutions and acids in solid form. The entry takes both forms and sets no universal pH boundary. Victoria has a separate B100 pair that states its own pH threshold.
