If checks disclose the existence of particles larger than is permitted in the licence, the process shall be stopped and repairs made before the process is resumed.
2. After reduction the specified risk material shall be heated to a core temperature greater than 100°C for at least 125 minutes, a core temperature greater than 110°C for at least 120 minutes and a core temperature greater than 120°C for at least 50 minutes.
