National reporting M150: chlorophenols are included with other phenols where the catalogue says so.
ComplyOnSiteIs National M150 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M150 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 M150 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 M150 cover?
Phenols and phenolic compounds go here. Chlorophenols are included only where the national list expressly puts them in this group.
