leaves or roots in soil) containing living cells must be wholly contained inside a sealed, unbreakable primary container.

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.

      1.2.4.2           GM plants and GM plant material that is viable must also be packed inside a sealed, unbreakable, secondary container, except when:
           * transported within a building; and
           * the GM plants or GM plant material does not contain spores, pollen, seeds, or cones from GM plants.

Labelling
      1.2.4.3           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
      1.2.4.4           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.

1.3 Requirements for Transport of PC3 GMOs

The requirements in this Part apply to all dealings with GMOs that are:
   * required to be contained in a PC3 facility certified by the Regulator; or
   * have been involved in dealings conducted in a PC3 facility certified by the Regulator, whether or not the dealings would be permitted to be conducted in an authorised PC1 or PC2 facility.

       1.3.1 PC3 Requirements

Notice that item to be transported is a GMO
      1.3.1.1           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.

      1.3.1.2           The transport of animals or plants containing GM microorganisms that are required to be contained in an authorized PC3 containment facility is not permitted without prior, written approval from the Regulator.

Labelling

      1.3.1.3           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.

      1.3.1.4           A biohazard label must be attached to the outermost container.

Containment
      1.3.1.5           GMOs to be transported must be wholly contained inside a sealed, unbreakable primary container.

      1.3.1.6           The primary container must be packed inside a sealed, unbreakable secondary container, which
