GENE TECHNOLOGY REGULATIONS 2001 2001 No. 106 - REG 6

Dealings exempt from licensing

(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.

Note 1
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.
Note 2
Exemption from provisions of the Act does not preclude the application of other Commonwealth and State laws.
