1. Terms in "quotations" are defined terms. Refer to ‘Glossary’ in SCOMET list.
2. In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist 
    in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures
    containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.
3. The object of the controls contained in this Schedule should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components are
    the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes.
    N.B.: In judging whether the controlled component or components are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special
    circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured.
4. Goods specified in this Schedule include both new and used goods.

2. Controls do not apply to that "technology" which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items which are not controlled or whose export has been authorised.
Note: This does not release such "technology" controlled in entries 8E102.e. & 8E102.f. and 8E802.a. & 8E802.b.
3. Controls do not apply to "technology" "in the public domain", to "basic scientific research" or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.

Chemicals are listed by name, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number and CWC Schedule (where applicable). Chemicals of the same structural formula (e.g., hydrates) are controlled regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying whether a particular chemical or mixture is controlled, irrespective of nomenclature. However, CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers in all situations because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.
