(1) For subsection 32 (3) of the Act, a dealing, in relation to a GMO, is
an exempt dealing if:
- (a)
- it is a dealing of a kind mentioned in Part 1 of
Schedule 2; and
- (b)
- it does not involve a genetic modification other than a modification
described in Part 1 of Schedule 2; and
- (c)
- it is conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2243.3:1995
(Safety in laboratories: microbiology) for physical containment Level 1; and
- (d)
- it does not involve an intentional release of the GMO into the
environment.
- (2)
- For the avoidance of doubt, exemption under subregulation (1) does not
apply to a dealing that does not comply with subregulation (1), whether or not
that dealing is related to a dealing that does so comply.

A
dealing affected by this regulation could be any of the forms of dealing
mentioned in the definition of deal with in subsection 10 (1) of the Act.
