1. Activities with host/vectorsystems that do or do not fulfill <strong>the</strong> criteria for categorisation<br />
<strong>in</strong> risk class 1 and activities with non-viral pathogenic hostorganisms<br />
Second direction<br />
Activities <strong>in</strong> which genetic material is or has been<br />
added that has not been characterised<br />
Activities <strong>in</strong> which characterised genetic<br />
material is or has been added<br />
First direction<br />
1. Activities <strong>in</strong> a host/vectorsystem that fulfills<br />
<strong>the</strong> criteria for categorisation <strong>in</strong> risk class 1<br />
2. Activities <strong>in</strong> a host/vectorsystem that does not<br />
fulfill <strong>the</strong> criteria for categorisation <strong>in</strong> risk<br />
class 1<br />
3. Activities <strong>in</strong> pathogenic hosts, exclud<strong>in</strong>g viral<br />
pathogens. The host is a pathogen of respectively<br />
risk group 4, 3, or 2:<br />
a. The donor produces a tox<strong>in</strong> of T3 L4 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
respectively class: T2 L3 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
T1 L2 L3 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
b. The donor is a for eucaryotic cells Risk group 4 L3 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
<strong>in</strong>fectious virus of respectively: Risk group 3 L2 L3 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
Risk group 2 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
c. The donor is a defective for Risk group 4 L2 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
eucaryotic cells <strong>in</strong>fectious virus of Risk group 3 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
respectively: Risk group 2 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
d. The donor is a non-viral Risk group 4 L3 L3 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
pathogen of respectively Risk group 3 L2 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
Risk group 2 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
e. The donor is an organism of risk L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
group 1, or a plant or an animal<br />
f. The sequence conta<strong>in</strong>s genetic T3 L4 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation that codes for a tox<strong>in</strong> T2 L3 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
of respectively class T1 L2 L3 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
g. The sequence conta<strong>in</strong>s genetic Risk group 4 L3 L4 Resp. L4, L4, L4<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation for <strong>the</strong> formation of a for Risk group 3 L2 L3 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
eucaryotic cells <strong>in</strong>fectious virus of Risk group 2 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
respectively:<br />
h. The sequence conta<strong>in</strong>s genetic Risk group 4 L2 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L3<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation for <strong>the</strong> formation of a Risk group 3 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
defective, for eucaryotic cells <strong>in</strong>fectous Risk group 2 L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
virus, of respectively:<br />
i. The sequence conta<strong>in</strong>s genetic L1 or L2* L2 or L3* Resp. L4, L3, L2*<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation that codes for a hazardous<br />
gene product, o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>in</strong> f.*<br />
j. The sequence does not conta<strong>in</strong> genetic L1 L2 Resp. L4, L3, L2<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation that codes for a hazardous<br />
gene product<br />
* What constitutes a hazardous gene product is <strong>the</strong> most difficult risk classification question. Virulence gene products<br />
might be an example of a hazardous gene product. F<strong>in</strong>al risk classification depends on <strong>the</strong> suspected effect of <strong>the</strong><br />
gene product <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> used hostorganism.<br />
