Regulation 35 secondary containment system: substituted, on 26 March 2004, by regulation 20(2) of the Hazardous Substances (Emergency Management) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SR 2004/44).
Secondary containment systems for pooling substances 36 (1) A place to which regulation 25 applies must have a secondary containment system if the quantity of any pooling substances of a particular hazard classification held in it is equal to or greater than the quantity specified in Schedule 4.
The system must comply with regulation 37, regulation 38, regulation 39, or regulation 40, depending on— (a) the capacities of the container or containers in which the substances are held; and (2) (b) whether they are held in a place above or below ground.

If 2 or more containers of different capacities (as described in regulations 37 to 39) are held at one place, the system must have a capacity of at least the sum of each container category.

Subclause (1) does not apply to a place that is a vehicle.
Regulation 36(2A): inserted, on 26 March 2004, by regulation 21 of the Haz- ardous Substances (Emergency Management) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SR 2004/44).
Surface containers of up to 60 litres If the pooling substances held in a place above ground are in containers each of which has a capacity of 60 litres or less,— if the place’s total pooling potential is less than (a) 5 000 litres, the secondary containment system must have a capacity of at least half that total pooling poten- tial: if the place’s total pooling potential is 5 000 litres or more, the secondary containment system must have a capacity of the greater of— 2 500 litres; and (i) a quarter of that total pooling potential.

(ii) (b) Surface containers of over 450 litres If the pooling substances held in a place above ground are in containers 1 or more of which have a capacity of 450 litres or more, the secondary containment system must have a capacity of at least 110% of the capacity of the largest container.
Subclause (1) applies to a container that is so connected to some other container or containers that leakage from it will cause the other container or containers to empty, as if its cap- acity is the sum of the capacities of all the connected contain- ers.

Below ground containers If the pooling substances held in a place are in 1 or more below ground containers, the secondary containment system must have a capacity at least equal to the total pooling potential.
In subclause (1), below ground container— (a) means a container that is situated below ground; and (b) includes— (i) a container below ground, the level of which has been raised to provide cover for the container; and a container covered by other incombustible ma- terial instead of ground.

Particular controls on secondary containment systems There must be instituted or capable of being instituted in or in respect of a secondary containment system required by these regulations, controls that— (a) if explosive substances must be contained, exclude any energy source capable of causing them to explode: if flammable or oxidising substances, or organic per- oxides, must be contained, exclude any energy source capable of igniting them or causing them to decompose thermally: if toxic or biological corrosive substances must be con- tained, prevent people from being directly exposed to them: prevent the substances retained from being contamin- ated by incompatible substances and materials.
(b) (c) (d) Signage Signage requirements Every place where there is held a quantity of a hazardous sub- stance that is equal to or greater than the quantity specified for hazardous substances of that hazard classification in Schedule 5 must have signage that— (a) (b) meets the requirements of regulations 34 and 35 of the Hazardous Substances (Identification) Regulations 2001. advises the action to be taken in an emergency; and Subsection (1) does not apply to— (a) an aircraft that is subject to the Civil Aviation Act 1990; or an ship that is subject to the Maritime Transport Act 1994; or an vehicle that is subject to the Land Transport Act 1998.

39 Notes Hazardous Substances (Emergency Management) Regulations 2001 Reprinted as at 26 March 2004 Contents 1 2 3 4 General Status of reprints How reprints are prepared Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 List of amendments incorporated in this reprint (most recent first) General This is a reprint of the Hazardous Substances (Emergency Management) Regulations 2001.
The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the regulations as at 26 March 2004, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.

Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included, after the principal enact- ment, in chronological order.
Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment.

This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the prin- cipal enactment and its amendments are contained.

How reprints are prepared A number of editorial conventions are followed in the prep- aration of reprints.

For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted.
For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, 5 Notes 1 2 3 40 Reprinted as at 26 March 2004 Hazardous Substances (Emergency Management) Regulations 2001 Notes see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/ or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.
4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice.

Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000.

Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing.

To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legisla- tion reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the au- thority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint: • omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section” and “of this Act”) typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point) layout of provisions, including: • • indentation position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section) format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks) format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”) position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act) 41 • • • • • Notes Hazardous Substances (Emergency Management) Regulations 2001 Reprinted as at 26 March 2004 • • • • • • punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions) Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly case and appearance of letters and words, including: • format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial cap- ital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter) small capital letters in section and subsection ref- erences are now capital letters • schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accord- ingly running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page) format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chrono- logical).
