    Metal and plastic surface-treatment waste

South Australia A100: surface treatment is the source; compare heat-treatment cyanide waste under A110.

Waste from finishing metals & plastics, such as plating, anodising & etching baths. Heat-treatment cyanide waste is A110.

Is South Australia A100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is the SA EPA operational description. The operational code list and the table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be in the first and not the second. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

A100 is in the SA table of waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia A100 cover?

Waste from operations that treat metal or plastic surfaces falls here. The category follows the process that made the waste, not a named metal, plastic or treatment chemical.

Is surface-treatment waste South Australia A100 or A110?

CodeWhen it fits
A100The waste came straight from surface treatment of metal or plastic.
A110The waste comes from cyanide heat treatment or tempering, not metal or plastic surface treatment.

Use the EPA operational entry for an SA load. The separate interstate Policy description is kept where its wording differs. It doesn't replace the operational table or on its own make a load trackable.
