6.2.1 Definitions

Bu Yönetmeliklerin amaçları için:

6.2.1.1 Infectious substances are substances which are known or are reasonably expected to contain pathogens. Pathogens are defined as micro-organisms (including bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae, parasites, fungi) and other agents such as prions, which can cause disease in

insanlar veya hayvanlar.

Note: Toxins from plant, animal or bacterial sources which do not contain any infectious substances or toxins that are not contained in substances which are infectious substances should be considered for classification in Division 6.1 and assigned to UN3172.

6.2.1.2 Biological products are those products derived from living organisms which are manufactured and distributed in accordance with the requirements of appropriate national authorities, which may have special licensing requirements, and are used either for prevention, treatment, or diagnosis of disease in humans or animals, or for development, experimental or investigational purposes related thereto. They include, but are not limited to, finished or unfinished products such as vaccines.

6.2.1.3 Cultures are the result of a process by which pathogens are intentionally. This definition does not include patient specimens as defined in 6.2.1.4.

6.2.1.4 Patient specimens are those collected directly from humans or animals, including, but not limited to, excreta, secreta, blood and its components, tissue and tissue fluid swabs, and body parts being transported for purposes such as research, diagnosis, investigational activities, disease treatment and prevention.

6.2.1.5 Medical or clinical wastes are wastes derived from the medical treatment of animals or humans or from bio-research.

6.2.2 Classification of Infectious Substances

6.2.2.1 Infectious substances must be classified in Division 6.2 and assigned to UN2814, UN2900, UN 3291 or UN3373, as appropriate.

6.2.2.2 Infectious substances are divided into the following categories.

6.2.2.2.1 Category A:

Bu maddeye maruz kaldığında, sağlıklı insanlarda veya hayvanlarda kalıcı sakatlığa, yaşamı tehdit eden veya ölümcül hastalığa neden olabilecek bir şekilde taşınan bulaşıcı bir madde. Bu kriterleri karşılayan maddelerin belirleyici örnekleri Tablo 3.6.D'de verilmiştir.

Not: Bir bulaşıcı madde koruyucu ambalajın dışında bırakıldığında, insan veya hayvanlarla fiziksel temasta bulunulduğunda, bir maruziyet oluşur.

(a) İnsanlarda veya hem insanlarda hem de hayvanlarda hastalığa neden olan bu kriterleri karşılayan bulaşıcı maddeler BM 2814'e tahsis edilmelidir. Sadece hayvanlarda hastalığa neden olan bulaşıcı maddeler UN 2900'e tahsis edilmelidir.

(b) BM 2814 veya BM 2900'e atanma, kaynak insan ya da hayvanın, endemik yerel koşulların ya da kaynak insan oranının bireysel koşullarına ilişkin profesyonel yargının bilinen tıbbi öyküsü ve semptomlarına dayanmalıdır.

Notlar:

1. BM 2814 için uygun nakliye adı, insanları etkileyen bulaşıcı bir maddedir. UN 2900 için uygun nakliye adı, sadece hayvanları etkileyen Enfeksiyöz bir maddedir.

2. Aşağıdaki tablo kapsamlı değildir. Tabloda yer almayan ancak aynı kriterleri karşılayan yeni veya yeni ortaya çıkan patojenler de dahil olmak üzere bulaşıcı maddeler A Kategorisine tahsis edilmelidir. Ayrıca, bir maddenin kriterlere uygun olup olmadığı konusunda şüphe varsa A Kategorisine dahil edilmiştir.

6.2.2.3 Exemptions

6.2.2.3.1 Substances which do not contain infectious substances or substances which are unlikely to cause disease in humans or animals are not subject to these Regulations unless they meet the criteria for inclusion in another class.

6.2.2.3.2 Substances containing microorganisms which are non-pathogenic to humans or animals are not subject to these Regulations unless they meet the criteria for inclusion in another class.

6.2.2.3.3 Substances in a form that any present pathogens have been neutralized or inactivated such that they no longer pose a health risk are not subject to these Regulations unless they meet the criteria for inclusion in another class.

6.2.2.3.4 Environmental samples (including food and water samples) which are not considered to pose a significant risk of infection are not subject to these Regulations unless they meet the criteria for inclusion in another class.

6.2.2.3.5 Dried blood spots, collected by applying a drop of blood onto absorbent material, or faecal occult blood screening tests and blood or blood components which have been collected for the purposes of transfusion or for the preparation of blood products to be used for transfusion or transplantation and any tissues or organs intended for use in transplantation are not subject to these Regulations.

6.2.2.3.6 Patient specimens for which there is minimal likelihood that pathogens are present are not subject to these Regulations if the specimen is packed in a packaging which will prevent any leakage and which is marked with the words "Exempt human specimen" or "Exempt animal specimen", as appropriate. The packaging must meet the following conditions:

(b) Sıvılar için, tüm içeriği emebilecek yeterli miktarda emici malzeme olmalıdır.

birincil hazne (ler) ve ikincil ambalaj arasına yerleştirilir, böylece nakliye sırasında, bir sıvı maddenin salınımı veya sızıntısı dış ambalaja ulaşmayacak ve yastıklama malzemesinin bütünlüğünü tehlikeye atmayacaktır;

(c) Birden fazla kırılgan birincil priz, tek bir ikincil pakete konulduğunda, bunlar arasındaki teması önlemek için ayrı ayrı sarılmış veya ayrılmış olmalıdırlar.

NOTE: In determining whether a patient specimen has a minimum likelihood that pathogens are present, an element of professional judgment is required to determine if a substance is exempt under this paragraph. That judgment should be based on the known medical history, symptoms and individual circumstances of the source, human or animal, and endemic local conditions.
