GMOs must be made and kept for at least three years after the transport event. These records must be made available to the Regulator, if requested.

The record of transport must include:
          * the name of the parent species of the GMO;
          * the genetic modification(s);
          * the number of individual containers transported and total amount: if the GMO is in a liquid such as a microbiological culture then the total volume; alternatively, if the consignment were a solid in a bulk amount, then the total net mass of the contents being transported;
          * the mode of transport (e.g. by hand, rail and road, road and air);
          * the name and contact details of the transporter(s) if transport or other service providers are used;
          * the name and contact details of the sender;
          * the name and contact details of the recipient;
          * the date sent; and
          * confirmation that the full consignment was received.

Security arrangements
      1.3.1.12       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.

Decontamination of containers
      1.3.1.13       The external surface of the primary and secondary containers must be decontaminated prior to transport.

      1.3.1.14       Secondary containers must be decontaminated after transport.

Packaging with coolants
      1.3.1.15       If the coolant used is dry ice, liquid nitrogen or any other coolant that will release a gas, then a mechanism to allow the escape of the gas must be included. If water ice is used as a coolant then the outer packaging must be constructed so as to prevent any leakage. All containers must be able to withstand the temperatures to which they will be subjected.

      1.3.1.16       Coolants must not be used inside either the primary or secondary container.

1.4 Requirements for Transport of PC4 GMOs

       1.4.1 All GMOs

The transport of GMOs that are required to be contained in a PC4 facility certified by the Regulator is not permitted without prior, written approval from the Regulator.

Part 2 Requirements for the Storage of GMOs

       2.1 Storage requirements for PC1 and PC2 GMOs stored outside of authorised physical containment facilities.

Part 2 applies to the following dealings with GMOs:
   * NLRDs that are permitted to be stored outside of authorised PC1 or PC2 facilities by regulation 13(3)(b) of the Regulations; or
   * any other dealings that are permitted, in writing, by the Regulator to be stored under Part 2 of these guidelines.

NOTE: If any of the above are held in an authorised PC3 or PC4 physical containment facility then Part 2.2 applies.

Restrictions on storage
      2.1.1                  Whole, viable GM
