Schedule 1 Schedule 2 Schedule 3

Guidelines for Schedule 1 Guidelines for Schedule 2 Guidelines for Schedule 3 The following criteria shall be taken into account in considering whether a toxic The following criteria shall be taken into account in considering whether a toxic The following criteria shall be taken into account in considering whether a toxic chemical or precursor should be included in Schedule 1: chemical not listed in Schedule 1 or a precursor to a Schedule 1 chemical or to a chemical or precursor, not listed in other Schedules, should be included in (a) It has been developed, produced, stockpiled or used as a chemical weapon as chemical listed in Schedule 2, part A, should be included in Schedule 2: Schedule 3: defined in Article II; (a) It poses a significant risk to the object and purpose of this Convention because (a) It has been produced, stockpiled or used as a chemical weapon; (b) It poses otherwise a high risk to the object and purpose of this Convention by it possesses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity as well as other properties (b) It poses otherwise a risk to the object and purpose of this Convention because it virtue of its high potential for use in activities prohibited under this that could enable it to be used as a chemical weapon; possesses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity as well as other properties that Convention because one or more of the following conditions are met: (b) It may be used as a precursor in one of the chemical reactions at the final stage might enable it to be used as a chemical weapon; (i) It possesses a chemical structure closely related to that of other toxic of formation of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, part A; (c) It poses a risk to the object and purpose of this Convention by virtue of its chemicals listed in Schedule 1, and has, or can be expected to have, (c) It poses a significant risk to the object and purpose of this Convention by importance in the production of one or more chemicals listed in Schedule 1 or comparableproperties; virtue of its importance in the production of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, part B; (ii) It possesses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity as well as other Schedule 2, part A; (d) It may be produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not properties that would enable it to be used as a chemical weapon; (d) It is not produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not prohibited prohibited under this Convention. (iii) It may be used as a precursor in the final single technological stage of under this Convention.
