Re: I-125



Correction: RIA kits are NOT exempt, they are (usually) Generally 
Licensed.  You should find a reference to the General License (which 
is a license granted by rule, not through application to an Agency) 
on the packaging.  The regulations also specify the limitations of 
the General License.

NOTE: In Texas, these uses require a General License Acknowledgment 
(GLA).  See TRCR 40.61(b).  However, there are no longer any disposal 
limitations on GLA in-vitro kits.  If obtained under a specific 
license, they still must meet the normal disposal regulations.
