Operator Obligations:
The owner or operator is responsible for hygienic handling, storage, emptying, cleaning and lawful disposal. Any downstream composting, treatment or land application must be separately managed and comply with applicable requirements.
Biological Process Limitation:
Products within this classification are not supplied as biological-treatment equipment or as equipment that sanitises its contents or produces mature compost. Subsequent treatment remains a separate activity under the owner’s or operator’s management.
Limits of Intended Use:
The manual vessel is intended for containment within its stated capacity and assembly requirements. Overloading, misuse, incorrect assembly and failure to carry out required cleaning and emptying are outside its stated operating conditions. Subsequent waste treatment and disposal are separate from the supplied vessel.
Supply and placement conditions:
- Technical Assistance: WCTNZ® guidance is limited to the supplied vessel and the intended use actually considered. Complete site, building or vehicle design is excluded unless expressly contracted.
- Placement and Approvals: The owner must arrange any required approvals for placement, installation and waste management. Movable status alone does not establish an exemption.
- Placement Responsibility: Owners, installers and other responsible parties determine the placement, building, vehicle and waste-management requirements applicable to the intended use within their respective scopes.
For the applicable vessel documents, contact WCTNZ®.
Nothing in this notice excludes or restricts any statutory right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
