    South Australia interstate Policy: fixed, solidified or encapsulated waste

South Australia interstate Policy N160: treatment by encapsulation, chemical fixing, solidification or polymerisation does not erase the waste category.

Waste that has been encapsulated, chemically fixed, solidified or polymerised, where the original waste is on the list.

Is SA interstate policy N160 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 N160 cover?

Listed waste after encapsulation, chemical fixing, solidification or polymerisation. Treating it this way doesn't take it off the SA interstate list.
