Part 1 Requirements for Transport of GMOs

1.1 Requirements for Transport of PC1 GMOs

This Part applies to the following dealings with GMOs:
   * NLRDs that are listed in Part 1 of Schedule 3 of the Regulations ; or
   * any other dealings that are permitted, in writing, by the Regulator to be conducted in authorised PC1 facilities or transported under this Part of these guidelines.

       1.1.1 PC1 General Requirements

Where any Specific Requirements (Parts 1.1.2, 1.1.3 or 1.1.4) applicable to the dealings conflicts with a General Requirement, the Specific Requirement prevails.

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

      1.1.1.2           Where transport is being undertaken by a service provider then the outermost container must be labelled to clearly show the name, address and contact details of the sender, so that the sender can be contacted should the container be lost, damaged or misdirected.

Loss, spill or escape of GMOs during transport
      1.1.1.3           In the event of the escape, unintentional release, spill, leak, or loss of GMOs, including failure of the GMOs to be delivered to the recipient:
          * efforts must be implemented as soon as reasonably practicable to locate and/or retrieve the GMOs and return the GMOs to containment or render them non-viable; and
          * the incident must be reported to the Regulator as soon as reasonably practicable.

Accounting requirements
      1.1.1.4           Procedures must be in place to ensure that all GMOs or the number of primary containers of cultures of GMOs transported, can be accounted for and that a loss of GMOs
