(3) If required identification information is not exposed directly to the weather and not likely to be exposed directly to the weather throughout the lifetime of the substance concerned, it must be capable of continuing to meet the requirements of regulation 35— (a) while continuously exposed to radiation equivalent to the usual solar radiation in an unshaded position in any place in New Zealand for any 30-day period between November and March; and (b) while continuously exposed to temperatures in the range of 0°C to 50°C and humidity in the range of 10% to 95% for a 30-day period when,— (i) for at least of 10% of the period, the temperature is 0°C; and 16 Reprinted as at 1 December 2017 Hazardous Substances (Identification) Regulations 2001 Part 2 r 37 (ii) (iii) (iv) for at least of 10% of the period, the temperature is 50°C; and for at least of 10% of the period, the humidity is 10%; and for at least of 10% of the period, the humidity is 95%; and (c) while continuously in contact with the hazardous substance concerned for 4 minutes at 25°C.
Information provided as a label that passes the tests specified in Appendix C — Method for Determining Indelibility of Print of Australian Standard 2581 — 1998 Pressure sensitive adhesive labels for general purpose use meets the re- quirements of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), of subclause (2).
