    Thallium and thallium compounds

D180 is a 2015 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.

Thallium metal & thallium compounds, a heavy metal used in electronics & optics. A national reporting category added in 2015.

Is National D180 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. D180 is a DCCEEW hazardous-waste reporting category that groups data nationally. It doesn't make every material with this description hazardous. State and territory rules decide the classification, exclusions and movement duties for a load.

Use D180 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a national transport certificate. A movement needs the origin state or territory's accepted code and record, plus any destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls. A reporting code gives no state movement classification.

What does National D180 cover?

Elemental thallium and thallium compounds both fall here, whatever the named compound or process.
