7. A package must be so designed that, if it were subjected to—
(a)the tests specified in paragraphs 7 – 12 of Part IV of Schedule 9, it would restrict the loss of radioactive contents to not more than 10−6A2 per hour; and
(b)the tests specified in paragraphs 14, 15(b), 16 and 17 of that Part of that Schedule and the test in paragraph—
(i)15(c) of that Part of that Schedule, when the package has a mass not greater than 500 kg, an overall density not greater than 1000 kg/m3 based on the external dimensions, and radioactive contents greater than 1000 A2 not as special form radioactive material, or
(ii)15(a) of that Part of that Schedule for all other packages,
it would retain sufficient shielding to ensure that the radiation level at 1 metre from the surface of the package would not exceed 10 mSv/h with the maximum radioactive contents which the package is designed to contain and it would restrict the accumulated loss of radioactive contents in a period of one week to not more than 10 A2 for krypton-85 and not more than A2 for all other radionuclides. Where mixtures of different radionuclides are present, the provisions of parts 4 and 5 of regulation 29 must apply except that for krypton-85 an effective A2(i) value equal to 10 A2 may be used. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (a) above, the evaluation must take into account the requirements of regulation 37(2)(a).
