Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Regulations 1997

For the Act, production of a chemical means its formation through a chemical reaction as an intermediate (in a reaction sequence) or otherwise, only if the chemical can be isolated.

For the Act, production of saxitoxin and ricin also includes extracting and purifying saxitoxin or ricin (as the case requires).

However, production of a Schedule 2 chemical does not include its regeneration as part of a cycle of consumption and regeneration.
