The rule must be applied in relation to each of three hazard groups (categorised in Part 1 of Schedule 1 as health, physical, and environment hazards) to assess whether such substances nevertheless require consent. When applying the rule, no account is to be taken of substances present within the establishment which exceed the controlled quantity. For each hazard group, in accordance with Note 7, the lowest controlled quantity for that group should be used.".
