 (2) The matters are the following:

 (iv) any particle size or bulk density requirements in the specification; and
 (v) the thresholds for moisture in the specification; and
 (vi) any testing or sampling requirements in the specification;
 (d) whether the applicant has applied for, is the holder of, or has been refused, an export permit relating to any hazardous waste;
 (e) whether the applicant has been the holder of an export licence, relating to any regulated waste material, that has been revoked under Division 2 of Part 8 of Chapter 2 of the Act (revocation by Minister);
 (f) whether the Minister is reasonably satisfied that a condition of an export permit held at any time by the applicant in relation to any hazardous waste has been, or is being, breached.
