ComplyOnSiteIs National M170 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M170 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 M170 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 M170 cover?
Polychlorinated dibenzofurans of any congener go here. It takes every chemical variant in the dibenzofuran group and doesn't name only some of them.
