M210 is a 2015 reporting category; choose a state code for a movement.
ComplyOnSiteIs National M210 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M210 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 M210 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 M210 cover?
Cyanide compounds with the cyanide group bonded inside an organic compound go here. The organic bond is the line. Inorganic cyanides take A130 in the national list.
