    South Australia interstate Policy: surfactants and detergents

South Australia interstate Policy M250: surfactants reduce surface tension; check whether the entry requires mainly organic constituents.

Waste surfactants & detergents, mostly organic, which cut surface tension & can carry metals or other materials.

Is SA interstate policy M250 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy wording, 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 using SA WasteTracker, enter the accepted operational code and its SA description in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, against the matching consignment authorisation. The Policy entry doesn't set SA tracking by itself, so use the operational entry for that. The SA approval and record requirements still apply.

What does SA interstate policy M250 cover?

Surfactants made up mainly of organic constituents, including detergent waste. They may also hold metals or inorganic material.

Official wording
Surface active agents (surfactants), containing principally organic constituents and which may contain metals and inorganic materials
