    South Australia interstate Policy: clinical and related waste

Policy entry R100: use for interstate controlled-waste policy, not as the local operational list.

Clinical & related waste from hospitals, clinics, surgeries & labs, such as sharps, dressings & body fluids.

Is SA interstate policy R100 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 R100 cover?

Clinical and related wastes. The SA interstate list's clinical-waste definition decides which healthcare streams count as related. The label alone names no material or treatment.
