    Other organohalogen compounds

South Australia M160: use only where no other organohalogen code on the same list fits.

Organohalogen compounds not listed elsewhere in South Australia. A last-resort entry when no other organohalogen entry fits.

Is South Australia M160 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.

M160 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 M160 cover?

Organohalogen compounds with no other entry in the list go here. It is a catch-all, used once South Australia’s more specific organohalogen codes are ruled out.

Is organohalogen waste South Australia M160?

CodeWhen it fits
M160The compound is organohalogen and no more specific entry in South Australia’s list applies.

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.
