Note 1. The objective of these controls should not be defeated by the transfer of any noncontrolled item containing one or more controlled components where the controlled component or components are the principal element of the item 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, governments should 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 item being procured.
Note 2. The objective of these controls should not be defeated by the transfer of a whole plant, on any scale, which has been designed to produce any CW agent or AG-controlled precursor chemical.
Note 3. The materials used for gaskets, packing, seals, screws, washers or other materials performing a sealing function do not determine the status of control of the items listed below, provided that such components are designed to be interchangeable.
Note 4: The phrase in entries 1-8 “…where all surfaces that come in (or into) direct contact with the chemical(s) are made from “ is understood to include all operations with the chemical(s), which are wetting the surfaces concerned: inter alia producing, processing, consuming, containing, storing, and/or transferring.
Note 5. The term ‘alloy’ when not accompanied by a specific elemental concentration is understood as identifying those alloys where the identified metal is present in a higher percentage by weight than any other element.
