Infectious Substance

The Australian Dangerous Goods Code defines Infectious Substances as:

These are substances known or 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 humans or animals.

There is no Australian Standard that outlines the storage and handling requirements for infectious substances.
