purposes. All containers of decontamination agents, including any solutions for decontaminating hands, must be labelled with the contents and, where necessary, the expiry date. Decontamination agents must not be used after their expiry date.

NOTE: Consideration should also be given to whether the stored material should be accompanied by:
          * instructions on how to decontaminate any material in the event of a spill or leak;
          * appropriate protective clothing for persons undertaking the decontamination; and
          * any other equipment necessary to undertake decontamination.

Labelling
      2.1.8                  A person or accredited organisation supplying the GMO for storage must label the material to be stored in a manner capable of notifying any other handler of the material that the item to be stored is, or contains a GMO.

      2.1.9                  The primary container must be labelled to clearly show the name or other identifier of the GMO being stored.

      2.1.10             The storage unit, or any other secondary container, must be labelled to clearly show the name and contact details of the person responsible for the dealings, so that the person can be contacted should any GMOs be spilled or lost.

      2.1.11             A biohazard label must be attached to the storage unit when storing any GM micro-organisms that satisfy the criteria for classification as a Risk Group 2 organism under Section 3.2 of AS/NZS 2243.3:2010.

Accounting requirements
      2.1.12             Procedures must be in place to ensure that all GMOs stored can be accounted for.

      2.1.13             A record(s) of GMOs being stored must be maintained and made available to the Regulator upon request.

      2.1.14             The record(s) of GMOs being stored must allow the person storing the GMOs to find the exact location of where the GMO is being stored.

Security
      2.1.15             During the storage of GMOs outside of an authorised physical containment facility, access to the GMOs must be restricted, by any means that is effective, to only a person or class of persons mentioned in an IBC's record of assessment as having the appropriate training and experience to deal with the GMOs.

       2.2 Storage requirements for PC3 and PC4 GMOs stored outside of authorised physical containment facilities.

Part 2.2 applies to GMOs that require containment in a PC3 or PC4 facility certified by the Regulator.

      2.2.1                  Organisms to which Part 2.2 applies must not be stored outside of the relevant certified facility unless permitted, in writing, by the Regulator, for example by way of a licence condition.

      2.2.2                  If storage of any of the GMOs under 2.2.1 is permitted, in writing, by the Regulator, the storage must comply with any conditions specified in the written approval.
