    South Australia interstate Policy: wood-preservative chemical waste

South Australia interstate Policy H170: the waste must arise from making, preparing or using chemicals that preserve wood.

Waste from making, mixing or using wood-preserving chemicals, such as creosote & copper-chrome-arsenic mixes.

Is SA interstate policy H170 hazardous waste?

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

For a controlled border movement in SA WasteTracker, enter the operational code in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, with the SA description, against the matching consignment authorisation. The operational entry sets the SA tracking-table position. This Policy entry doesn't set local tracking by itself. The SA approval and record requirements apply.

What does SA interstate policy H170 cover?

Process waste from making, formulating or using wood-preserving chemicals. It is tied to that activity, not to every item made of treated timber.

Official wording
