    South Australia interstate Policy: asbestos waste

Policy entry N220: use for interstate controlled-waste policy, not as the local operational list.

Asbestos waste, the fibrous mineral found in old fibre cement sheeting, pipe lagging & insulation.

Is SA interstate policy N220 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 N220 cover?

Asbestos waste and discarded asbestos-containing material. Each state draws its own boundary and generally treats material with asbestos fibres, soil included, as asbestos-containing. Victoria gives asbestos-bearing soil the N120 description.
