    South Australia interstate Policy: asbestos-like ceramic fibres

South Australia interstate Policy N230: use for ceramic fibres whose physical and chemical behaviour resembles asbestos.

Ceramic-based fibres with physical & chemical traits like asbestos, used as furnace & kiln insulation.

Is SA interstate policy N230 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 N230 cover?

Ceramic fibres that resemble asbestos in physical and chemical characteristics. Both must match, and the fibres must be ceramic.

Official wording
