50 .         Method of collecting urine

        (1)         A urine sample is to be collected by a sample collector in a sterile urine collecting container.

        (1a)         After a urine sample has been collected, the sample collector may withdraw from the urine collecting container as much of the urine as is necessary to enable the urine to be tested by the approved testing equipment.

        (1b)         If —

            (a)         the test of the urine by the approved testing equipment indicates that the urine sample may be a non-complying sample (as defined in regulation 52); or

            (b)         no urine from the urine sample is tested by the approved testing equipment,

                subregulation (2) must be complied with in relation to the urine sample.

        (1c)         If the test of the urine by the approved testing equipment does not indicate that the urine sample may be a non-complying sample (as defined in regulation 52), the sample collector may decide —

            (a)         that no further action is to be taken in relation to the urine sample; or

            (b)         for any reason the sample collector considers sufficient, that subregulation (2) is to be complied with in relation to the urine sample.

        (2)         For this subregulation to be complied with in relation to a urine sample —

            (a)         the sample collector must pour as much of the urine into each of the 2 specimen jars as is necessary to enable an analysis of the urine to be made and securely tighten the cap on each specimen jar;

            (b)         the sample collector and a police officer or employee must each complete and sign the relevant parts of the approved form;

            (c)         the sample collector must seal each of the specimen jars in a separate package and seal it by fixing the form referred to in paragraph (b) over the opening of the package;

            (d)         the sample collector and police officer or employee must each sign his or her name over the sealed portion or flap of that package; and

            (e)         the sample collector must give one urine sample to the person from whom it was collected and the other sample to the police officer or employee.
