The term "pathogenic microorganisms" as mentioned in these Measures refers to microorganisms that can make people or animals sick.
The term "experimental activities" as mentioned in these Measures refers to the research, teaching, detection, diagnosis and other activities related to pathogenic microorganisms (viruses) and samples. Article 3 The State classifies laboratories into Grade I, Grade II, Grade III and Grade IV according to the biosafety protection level of laboratories against pathogenic microorganisms and the national biosafety standards for laboratories.
The first-class and second-class laboratories shall not engage in experimental activities of highly pathogenic microorganisms. Article 4 The State Environmental Protection Administration shall formulate and publish laboratory pollution control standards, technical specifications for environmental management and environmental supervision and inspection systems. Article 5 The State Environmental Protection Administration shall set up an expert committee on biosafety and environmental management of pathogenic microorganism laboratories. The expert committee is mainly composed of experts in environmental protection, pathogenic microorganisms and laboratory management.
The main duties of the Expert Committee on Biosafety and Environmental Management of Pathogenic Microbiological Laboratories are: to review the relevant laboratory pollution control standards and environmental management technical specifications, and to put forward deliberation suggestions; Review relevant laboratory environmental impact assessment documents and put forward review suggestions. Article 6 When building, rebuilding or expanding laboratories, an environmental impact assessment system shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant state regulations on environmental protection.
Laboratory environmental impact assessment documents should analyze and predict the possible impact of pathogenic microorganism experimental activities on the environment, and put forward preventive and control measures. Article 7 When building, rebuilding or expanding a Class III or IV laboratory or producing or importing a mobile Class III or IV laboratory, an environmental impact report shall be prepared in accordance with the prescribed procedures and submitted to the State Environmental Protection Administration for examination and approval.
The environmental impact assessment institution undertaking the environmental impact assessment of Grade III and IV laboratories shall have Grade A assessment qualification and corresponding assessment scope. Article 8 Laboratories shall install or equip pollution prevention facilities and equipment in accordance with the requirements of national environmental protection laws and regulations, approved environmental impact assessment documents and approval documents of the competent administrative department of environmental protection.
Pollution prevention facilities and equipment must be qualified by the competent administrative department of environmental protection before the laboratory can be put into operation or use. Article 9 The Class III and Class IV laboratories approved by the state shall fill in the Record Form for Class III and Class IV Pathogenic Microbiological Laboratories (see attached table) within 15 days after obtaining the Biosafety Laboratory Certificate, and report to the competent administrative department of environmental protection of the local people's government at the county level. Article 10 The competent administrative department of environmental protection of the people's government at the county level shall report to the competent administrative department of environmental protection of the municipal people's government with districts within 10 days from the date of receiving the filing forms of the third and fourth pathogenic microorganism laboratories; The competent administrative department of environmental protection of the municipal people's government with districts shall report to the competent administrative department of environmental protection of the provincial people's government within 10 days from the date of receiving the filing form of the third and fourth pathogenic microorganism laboratories; The competent administrative department of environmental protection of the people's government at the provincial level shall report to the State Environmental Protection Administration within 10 days from the date of receiving the filing form of the third and fourth pathogenic microorganism laboratories. Eleventh laboratory establishment units shall be responsible for the prevention and control of waste water, waste gas and hazardous waste generated by experimental activities.
The laboratory shall, in accordance with the requirements of national environmental protection laws and regulations, laboratory pollution control standards and technical specifications for environmental management, establish and improve the rules and regulations for the prevention and control of laboratory waste water, waste gas and hazardous waste pollution, and set up full-time (part-time) personnel to inspect, supervise and implement whether the treatment of waste water, waste gas and hazardous waste generated by the laboratory conforms to the provisions of national laws, administrative regulations and these Measures. Article 12 Where a laboratory discharges waste water or waste gas, it shall implement the discharge declaration and registration system in accordance with the relevant provisions of the State Environmental Protection Administration.
Where hazardous waste is produced in the laboratory, it must be reported to the competent administrative department of environmental protection of the local people's government at or above the county level in accordance with the relevant provisions on the prevention and control of environmental pollution by hazardous waste, and other relevant materials shall be provided. Thirteenth laboratory wastewater must be treated harmlessly in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. It can be discharged only after it meets the relevant national emission standards. Article 14 When conducting experimental activities, laboratories must ensure the normal operation of air pollution prevention and control facilities in accordance with relevant state regulations. Exhaust emissions shall not violate the relevant national standards or regulations. Fifteenth laboratories must properly collect, store and dispose of hazardous wastes generated in experimental activities in accordance with the following provisions to prevent environmental pollution:
(a) the establishment of hazardous waste registration system, hazardous waste registration. The contents of registration shall include the source, type, weight or quantity of hazardous waste, disposal method, final destination and the signature of the manager. Registration materials shall be kept for at least 3 years.
(2) Collect the hazardous wastes generated in its experimental activities in time, and put them in special packages and containers that meet the relevant national environmental protection requirements, such as leakage prevention and sharp instrument penetration prevention, and set up obvious warning signs and instructions for hazardous wastes in accordance with the requirements of national regulations.
(three) equipped with hazardous waste temporary storage cabinets (boxes) or other facilities and equipment that meet the requirements of national laws, administrative regulations and relevant technical specifications.
(four) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, the hazardous waste shall be treated harmlessly in situ, and in accordance with the principle of centralized disposal nearby, the hazardous waste after harmless treatment shall be handed over to the unit that has obtained the hazardous waste business license according to law for centralized disposal.
(five) the transfer of hazardous waste shall be carried out in accordance with the law on the prevention and control of environmental pollution by solid waste and the relevant provisions of the State Environmental Protection Administration.
(6) Hazardous wastes shall not be discarded, dumped or piled up at will, and hazardous wastes shall not be mixed with other wastes and domestic garbage.
(seven) other requirements of national environmental protection laws, administrative regulations and rules on hazardous waste management.
