31. This Chapter does not apply

(1)  to solid materials whose only property is that they are radioactive, whose leachate spontaneously emits ionizing radiations and for which the result of the following equation is less than 0.05:

C1 C2 C3 Cn

S = ____ + ____ + ____ + ... ____

A1 A2 A3 An

where “C1, C2, C3, ... Cn” represents the activity concentration of the leachate for each radioelement it contains, expressed in kBq/L; and

“A1, A2, A3, ... An” represents the activity listed in Schedule 1 for each corresponding radioelement, expressed in kBq/L;

(2)  to equipment containing PCBs or contaminated by PCBS, where such equipment has been out of service for less than 6 months;

(3)  (paragraph revoked);

(4)  to spent or used materials that are still being used for the same purpose or a purpose similar to their initial use by a person who used them the first time while they were new;

(5)  where the quantity of materials is less than 100 kg. However, this Chapter remains applicable to liquids, solids or substances containing PCBs where the quantity of PCBs contained in all the materials is greater than 1 kg.
