[^f00007]: The type of construction and the technical specifications (eg leakproofness) of the closed functional element determines the effectiveness of the containment. To enable the competent authority to make a decision as to whether rigorous containment is achieved or not, it is essential that the notifier includes details on these aspects. The technical measures must normally fulfil the conditions of the “Criteria for the assessment of closed systems during handling of chemical agents” which are included for guidance in section 7.5 and in table 1 of Annex VIIA of the Directive. This must be stated by the notifier, however it is not necessary to address every type of closed functional element in the description provided of the technical measures. Any deviation from the conditions of the Criteria must be fully described, with justification.
