Methods and Facility Standards for the Storage, Clearance and Disposal of Industrial Waste Article 8
Methods for the storage of biomedical waste sharp implements and infectious waste shall comply with the following regulations, unless other central competent authority regulations apply:I. "Waste sharp implements" shall be stored separately from other waste, sealed in not readily perforated sturdy containers for storage of a maximum of one year.II. "Infectious waste" shall be stored separately from other waste. Those that use thermal treatment methods shall seal the infectious waste in leak-proof, non-destructible red plastic bags or red combustible containers. Those that use sterilization treatment shall seal and store the waste in leakproof, non-destructible yellow plastic bags or yellow containers. Storage conditions shall comply with the following regulations:A. Waste producing organizations may store infectious waste for a maximum of one day at a temperature above 5°C; the said organizations may refrigerate infectious waste for a maximum of seven days at a temperature below 5 and above 0, and freeze infectious waste for a maximum of 30 days at a temperature below 0°C.B. Clearance organizations may not store infectious waste; but those that require transfer shipments due to particular circumstances may refrigerate or freeze infectious waste at a temperature below 5°C for a maximum of seven days upon approval by the local competent authority.C. Disposal organizations may not store infectious waste at a temperature above 5°C; the said organizations may refrigerate infectious waste for a maximum of seven days at a temperature below 5°C and above 0°C, and freeze infectious waste for a maximum of 30 days at a temperature below 0°C.The storage containers and plastic bags of the foregoing paragraph shall be marked in a prominent place on the outermost layer with the name of the waste, the name of the waste producing enterprise, the storage deadline, the weight, the name of the clearance and disposal organization, and the characteristics of the hazardous industrial waste. On top of that infectious waste shall also be marked with the storage temperature.The storage deadline of the foregoing paragraph does not include the clearance and transportation process, cargo loading and discharging, waiting and batch feeding time.When biomedical waste sharp implements and infectious waste cause noxious odors during the storage period, they shall immediately be cleared.Enterprises that are unable to comply with Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 2 due to particular circumstances may extend the storage deadline after relevant documents submitted to the local competent authority have been approved.The approval documents must clearly state the waste type for which storage has been extended, the reason for the extension and the approved storage extension deadline. A copy must be sent to the central competent authority.
中文原文 事業廢棄物貯存清除處理方法及設施標準第8條
生物醫療廢棄物之廢尖銳器具及感染性廢棄物之貯存方法，除中央主管機關另有規定外，應符合下列規定：
一、廢尖銳器具：應與其他廢棄物分類貯存，並以不易穿透之堅固容器密封盛裝，貯存以一年為限。
二、感染性廢棄物：應與其他廢棄物分類貯存；以熱處理法處理者，應以防漏、不易破之紅色塑膠袋或紅色可燃容器密封盛裝；以滅菌法處理者，應以防漏、不易破之黃色塑膠袋或黃色容器密封貯存。
貯存條件應符合下列規定：
（一）廢棄物產出機構：於攝氏五度以上貯存者，以一日為限；於攝氏五度以下至零度以上冷藏者，以七日為限；於攝氏零度以下冷凍者，以三十日為限。
（二）清除機構：不得貯存；但有特殊情形而須轉運者，經地方主管機關同意後，得於攝氏五度以下冷藏或冷凍，並以七日為限。
（三）處理機構：不得於攝氏五度以上貯存；於攝氏五度以下至零度以上冷藏者，以七日為限；於攝氏零度以下冷凍者，以三十日為限。
前項貯存容器及塑膠袋，除應於最外層明顯處標示廢棄物名稱、產生廢棄物之事業名稱、貯存日期、重量、清除處理機構名稱及區別有害事業廢棄物特性之標誌外，感染性廢棄物另應標示貯存溫度。
第一項貯存期限，不含清運過程、裝卸貨及等待投料時間。
生物醫療廢棄物之廢尖銳器具及感染性廢棄物於貯存期間產生惡臭時，應立即清除。
事業有特殊情形無法符合第一項第二款規定者，得檢具相關文件報請地方主管機關同意後，延長貯存期限。
其同意文件須註明申請延長貯存之廢棄物種類、原因及許可延長貯存之期限，並副知中央主管機關。
