(2) The operator of a materials facility must measure the total weight in tonnes of all mixed waste material that leaves the facility in each reporting period to be transferred to another materials facility for the purpose of separating that material into specified output material.
(3) The operator of a materials facility must measure the total weight in tonnes of specified output material that leaves the facility in each reporting period.
(4) The operator of a materials facility must take samples of the specified output material produced at that facility in a reporting period and measure the composition of those samples.
(5) For the purpose of fulfilling the requirements in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), the specified output material must, as a minimum, be identified by reference to the grade of glass, metal, paper or plastic material making up each batch of specified output material.
(6) For the purpose of sub-paragraph (4), measuring the composition of a sample taken by the operator means identifying the materials comprising that sample, by reference to—
(a)the type of target material, non-target material and non-recyclable material that is contained in the sample, and
