National reporting M100: PCB, PCN and PCT are polychlorinated biphenyls, naphthalenes and terphenyls; PBB is polybrominated biphenyl.
ComplyOnSiteIs National M100 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M100 is a DCCEEW reporting category that groups waste 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 real load.
Enter M100 in the national waste-data category field when reporting under that standard. It isn't a transport certificate. A movement needs the code and record accepted where it starts, plus any required destination consignment authorisation for an interstate controlled load. Apply separate interstate movement controls, because a reporting code gives no state movement classification.
What does National M100 cover?
Discarded substances and articles that contain or are contaminated with PCB, PCN, PCT or PBB compounds go here. Contaminated items fall here as well as items that contain them.
