    A ‘chemical reaction’ is a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

    The following processes should not be considered for purposes of origin:

    1. (a)

      dissolving in water or other solvents;

    2. (b)
