ComplyOnSiteIs National M180 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M180 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 M180 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 M180 cover?
Any congener of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin goes here. It takes every chemical variant in the dioxin group and doesn't name only some of them.
