    South Australia interstate Policy: metal and plastic surface-treatment waste

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

Surface treatment of metals & plastics, under South Australia's interstate policy. Heat-treatment cyanide waste is A110.

Is SA interstate policy A100 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This description comes from South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy, kept apart from the current SA EPA operational table. Controlled-waste status also depends on the hazardous-characteristic test and the movement rules.

For a controlled border movement using SA WasteTracker, enter the code and SA description on the transport certificate, against the matching consignment authorisation. In the certificate's waste-code field, enter the accepted operational code. Use the operational entry for the SA tracking-table position, because this Policy entry doesn't set local tracking by itself. The SA approval and record requirements still apply.

What does SA interstate policy A100 cover?

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