8A Transboundary movement of wastes for laboratory analysis
Despite regulations 6, 7 and 8, wastes are not subject to the amber control procedure if: (a) the wastes are to be sent for laboratory analysis: (i) to assess physical or chemical characteristics; or (ii) to determine suitability for recovery operations; and (b) the amount of waste does not exceed 25 kg and is the minimum reasonably needed to perform the analysis; and (c) notice of the proposed transboundary movement is given to the Minister, in a form approved by the Minister, at least 30 days before the proposed movement; and (d) within 30 days of receiving notice of the proposed movement, the Minister confirms in writing that the particular wastes are not subject to the amber control procedure.
