[marjenes@OPTUSNET.COM.AU Subject: Re: Clinical Waste In-Reply-To:]

Yes Michael I thought I has indicated that i.e. if more onerous follow that
and Vic EPA is more onerous atm. However for some states and territories the
new standards are more onerous so now that AS has been released that takes
over.

Thanks Margaret

My meagre legal knowledge tells me that is a state has an Environmental
Protection Act or equivalent with a definition of clinical waste, this will
take precedence over an Australian Standard, until the Act is repealed or
altered. Best advice would be to check with your state statutory authority.

Cheers

Hi Michael – ASA 3816 brings states into line but if current state
definition is more onerous than AS then go with state. Vic EPA will prob be
reviewing theirs I understand
