Australian Capital Territory M220: these reactive chemicals are used in products such as polyurethane paints, foams and glues.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT M220 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For ACT interstate controls, a waste needs a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT administrative list prints the code. The NEPM itself doesn't print these A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, put M220 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their parts. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and applicable dangerous goods details.
Check the ACT movement exclusions too.
What does ACT M220 cover?
Isocyanate compounds used in products such as polyurethane foams, paints and glues. These reactive compounds are not limited to one product form.
