South Australia J120: use for an emulsion or mixture of water with oil or another hydrocarbon.
ComplyOnSiteIs South Australia J120 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.
J120 is in the SA table for 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 J120 cover?
Waste oil mixed or emulsified with water goes here, and so do mixtures of water and other hydrocarbons. Water in the mixture sets it apart from a waste-oil entry that doesn't mention water.

Is oily water South Australia J120 or J100?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| J120 | Oil or another hydrocarbon is mixed or emulsified with water. |
| J100 | The South Australian J100 description matches waste mineral oil. |
Use the SA EPA operational entry for an SA load. The separate interstate Policy description is kept where its wording differs, but it doesn't replace the operational table or settle tracking on its own.
