other during transport unless they form part of the same dealing. If the separation fails, then any non-GM animals must be transported in accordance with the requirements in these guidelines as if they were GM animals.

Decontamination of containers
      1.1.3.5           After the transport of animals, containers must be decontaminated, including by ensuring no individual animals are hidden in any bedding or media.

       1.1.4 PC1 GM plants not containing GM micro-organisms

The following requirements, in addition to the General Requirements (Part 1.1.1), apply to the transport of GM plants that do not contain GM micro-organisms.

NOTE: Plants containing GM micro-organisms are dealt with under Part 1.1.2.

Containment
      1.1.4.1           GM plants and GM plant material containing living cells must be wholly contained inside a sealed, unbreakable primary container, e.g. leaves or roots in soil.

NOTE: In the case of non-viable GM plant material containing living cells, 'sealed' means able to contain the material, e.g. a wheeled bin with a lid that is not leak proof or airtight, but is secured so that it would not fall open if the bin tipped over, and would not allow any of the GM plant material in the bin to escape.

A sealed, unbreakable container can also be a pot, provided that there are no spores, pollen, seeds or cones from GM plants.

Labelling
      1.1.4.2           GM plants and other viable GM plant material must be labelled to indicate that they are GMOs. This may be achieved by labelling plants or containers as appropriate.

Decontamination of material transported with the GMOs
      1.1.4.3           Any materials transported with the GM plant material (such as soil, anti-desiccation agents, soil substitute, or water) must be either retained with the GM plant materials under containment or decontaminated after transport has occurred.

1.2 Requirements for Transport of PC2 GMOs

This Part applies to the following dealings with GMOs:

   * NLRDs that are listed in Part 2 of Schedule 3 of the Regulations; and
   *  any other dealings that are permitted, in writing, by the Regulator to be conducted in authorised PC2 facilities or transported under this Part of these guidelines.

      1.2.0.1           Dealings that are permitted to be conducted in an authorised PC1 physical containment facility but which are conducted in an authorised PC2 physical containment facility, may be transported according to the requirements relating to the transport of dealings conducted in an authorised PC1 physical containment facility under Part 1.1 of these guidelines, provided:
          * procedures are implemented to ensure that PC1 dealings are not cross-contaminated or mixed with GMO dealings that are required to be contained in an authorised PC2 physical containment facility; and
          * the above procedures are documented.

      1.2.0.2           If the above documented procedures to prevent cross-contamination are not in
