3G Amount of Schedule 3 chemicals
For the Act, the method for working out the total amount of a Schedule 3 chemical produced at a plant comprising, or comprising part of, a facility in a year is set out in the following table.
Table
| 1 The amount of the chemical is the weight of the chemical. |
|---|
| 2 The weight of the chemical is to be worked out accurate to within 5 percent. |
| 3 However, for a mixture containing 30 percent or less by weight of the chemical, the amount of the chemical is zero. |
| 4 For working out the percentage of the chemical in a mixture by weight, the following components of the mixture are to be disregarded:(a) any liquid or gas, the main function of which is to act as a carrier in a chemical reaction process that produces the chemical;(b) if a feedstock gas is incompletely reacted in a chemical reaction process that produces the chemical—the gas that did not react. |
