Will your research involve the storage of 
relevant material from the living or the deceased on premises in England, Wales or Northern Ireland without a storage 
licence from the Human Tissue Authority 
(HTA)?
              
This includes storage of imported material.  
              
              Storage does not include:
              i.  Storage of relevant material incidental to transportation: provided that relevant material is removed 
                from the premises within hours or days (or at most a week), or
               ii. Temporary storage prior to rendering acellular: provided that residual relevant material is disposed of or rendered acellular within hours or days (or at most a week).
