Polychlorinated dibenzofurans
New South Wales M170: A congener is one chemical variant in the dibenzofuran group; any variant is included.
ComplyOnSiteIs NSW M170 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. M170 marks waste that may need tracking. Part 4 requires a matching Schedule 1 waste description and a Part 3 hazardous characteristic. That is a tracking test, not the NSW disposal classification, and the code gives no disposal class. Part 4 covers local and interstate movements.
Where Part 4 tracking applies, enter M170 in the waste-code field of the IWTS Movement, with the description, quantity, parties and the receiver's applicable Movement Authorisation. The approved system issues the Movement reference. The NSW tracking exemptions still apply.
What does NSW M170 cover?
Polychlorinated dibenzofurans of any congener. The entry takes every chemical variant in the dibenzofuran group, not just some congeners.
