This subpart applies to:

(a) Any incidental waste that is not RMW but that has come into contact or is presumed to be contaminated with an infectious agent or toxins of biological origin. Incidental waste means any material generated as a consequence of mitigating exposure to infectious agents or toxins of biological origin (e.g., including waste from work spaces, living spaces, and other similar locations prior to reoccupancy, etc.).

(b) Culture samples and devices that are contaminated with an infectious agent or toxins of biological origin (e.g., pathogenic micro-organisms or toxins that are causative agents of food or water-borne illness) that are likely to pose a health risk to humans or animals and that are not treated before disposal; and

(c) Facilities, including laboratories, conducting research on infectious agents, as defined in subdivision (a) of this section, are regulated by this Subpart.
