South Australia interstate Policy: pharmaceutical-production waste

Policy entry R140: use for interstate controlled-waste policy, not as the local operational list.

Waste from making & preparing pharmaceutical products, such as production residue & rejected batches.

Is SA interstate policy R140 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 R140 cover?

Discarded material from making or preparing pharmaceutical products. The source is manufacture, not later use or disposal as medicine.
