Isocyanates used in polyurethane products
National reporting M220: these reactive chemicals are used in products such as polyurethane paints, foams and glues.
ComplyOnSiteIs National M220 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M220 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 M220 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 M220 cover?
Isocyanate compounds go here. These reactive compounds are used in polyurethane foams, paints and glues, and the code isn't limited to one product form.
