Managing unused waste COVID-19 test kits: RPS C29

Ref: LIT 66318 HTML

Details

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when storing, de-packaging and dismantling unused waste COVID-19 test kits.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
