24 Scope and content of orders

(1) Without limiting the generality of sections 22 and 23, a chemical control order may be made:

(a) so as to prohibit the carrying on of:

(i) any prescribed activity in relation to a chemical, or

(ii) any prescribed activity in relation to a declared chemical waste,

otherwise than under the authority of, and in accordance with any conditions for the time being in force in respect of, the chemical control order or a licence,

(b) so as to apply to or in respect of any type or description of chemicals, or declared chemical wastes, which the Authority has determined have the same or chemically analogous properties, and

(c) so as to apply to or in respect of any prescribed type or description of mixture that contains a specified chemical or declared chemical waste, whether or not the contents of any such mixture or waste can be accurately ascertained or quantified.

(2) A chemical control order the requirements of which are inconsistent with the authority conferred by or the conditions for the time being in force in respect of a licence, in so far as the order purports to bind the licensee and to the extent of the inconsistency, shall be of no effect while the licence or condition, as the case may be, is in force.
