    South Australia interstate Policy: other organohalogen compounds

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

Other organohalogen waste means organic compounds with chlorine, bromine or fluorine that have no entry of their own.

Is SA interstate policy M160 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 M160 cover?

Organohalogen compounds that no other entry on this list fits. It is the catch-all, used once the more specific organohalogen codes are ruled out.
