    South Australia interstate Policy: strong-smelling organic chemicals

South Australia interstate Policy M260: mercaptans and acrylates are examples of the strong-smelling organic chemicals covered.

Waste of highly odorous organic chemicals, including mercaptans & acrylates, which smell strongly even in small amounts.

Is SA interstate policy M260 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 M260 cover?

Strong-smelling organic chemicals, including mercaptans and acrylates. These are examples, so the entry isn't limited to them.
