This clause is a guide to the subpart, but does not affect the interpretation or application of the subpart.
This subpart imposes requirements on hazardous substances in a place other than a workplace.
The requirements of this subpart are in addition to those in Part 4, which specifically addresses ecotoxic hazards.
Many of the provisions refer to certain provisions of the HSW HS Regulations, and apply them for the purposes of this notice as if they applied to a place other than a workplace.
modifications to the application of the relevant HSW HS Regulations are made, as these are necessary to ensure the requirements are relevant to the context in which they apply; and
the provisions of the relevant HSW HS Regulations which relate to the exercise of WorkSafe’s discretionary powers under the HSW Act are not applied, as those powers are not able to be used for the purposes of this notice; and
many of the requirements under the HSW HS Regulations to obtain a compliance certificate are not applied, as those certificates are not able to be issued for the purposes of this notice; requirements to obtain HSNO certificates from HSNO certifiers are imposed instead in accordance with section 82(a) of the Act.
This subpart applies to any place, other than a workplace.
A HSNO certifier who issues a HSNO certificate under this part of the notice must—
include an expiry date on the certificate, being—
five years after the date of issue, in the case of a certificate issued in respect of a person or a stationary container system; or

The provisions of the HSW HS Regulations listed against the classification of the substance in Schedule 2 apply to the substance, the place in which the substance is present, and the person in charge of the substance or place, for the purposes of this notice with all necessary modifications, as if—
any reference in those regulations to “place within a workplace” is replaced with “location within a place”;
any other reference to “workplace” in those regulations is replaced with “place”, except where the word “workplace” appears in the title of regulations made under the HSW Act;

holds a controlled substance licence authorising possession of the substance.
This clause applies to a hazardous substance if the substance is—
of a hazard classification or description specified in Schedule 3; and
at a place in a quantity exceeding the relevant quantity specified in Schedule 3.
However, this clause does not apply to a class 1 substance.
any requirement in those regulations to hold a controlled substance licence;
any requirement to notify or provide information to WorkSafe is replaced by a requirement to notify or provide the information to the EPA;
any reference to a compliance certificate as a certified handler, or for a hazardous substance location or a stationary container system is replaced with a reference to a HSNO certificate or a relevant test certificate;

container 2 is thoroughly cleaned immediately after the substance is used so that no residue remains that may present a hazard.
This clause applies to a hazardous substance, if the substance is—
of a hazard classification or description specified in Schedule 3, and at a place in a quantity not exceeding the relevant quantity specified in Schedule 3;

Subpart B: Requirements in a workplace to which the HSW Act does not apply
This subpart contains one provision, which imposes requirements for hazardous substances on-board ships that are workplaces to which the HSW Act does not apply.
This subpart refers to the HSW HS Regulations, and applies them for the purposes of this notice as if the HSW Act applied to the ship.
requirements are not imposed on hazardous substances while they are being transported by sea, as the transport of hazardous substances is regulated under the Maritime Transport Act 1994; and
the requirement to obtain a transhipment permit from WorkSafe is not applied, as a transhipment permit cannot be issued with respect to a ship to which the HSW Act does not apply; approval for transhipment may instead be sought from the Authority under section 51 of the Act.
This clause applies to a hazardous substance in a workplace that is a ship in New Zealand to which the HSW Act does not apply.
The requirements of the HSW HS Regulations apply for the purposes of this notice as if the HSW Act applied to the ship.
this clause does not apply to a hazardous substance while it is being transported by sea; and
regulation 1.10 of the HSW HS Regulations does not apply for the purposes of this notice.
This subpart imposes requirements for class 9 substances—
in a workplace, relating to labelling, safety data sheets, stationary container systems, separation distances, secondary containment, emergency response plans, and signage; and
in a place other than a workplace, relating to stationary container systems, separation distances, emergency response plans, secondary containment, and signage.

methods of release;
repellents or attractants to be used with the pesticide.
A person must not use a class 9.3 pesticide outdoors as bait, or part of bait, for vertebrate species, unless it is—

A person who imports or manufactures a class 9.3 pesticide must ensure that the pesticide meets any bait specifications described in clause 56(1)(a) and (b), and will be able to be used in accordance with clause 56(2)(a).
Compare: SR 2001/117 r 51
This clause applies if a class 9.4 substance is applied to a plant, and it is in a form that non-target invertebrate pollinators are likely to be exposed to either during, or after, its application.
A person who applies the substance must ensure the application plot does not include any—
bees that are foraging; or
plants (including trees and weeds) that—
are likely to be visited by non-target invertebrate pollinators; and
