Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Schedule 2 (Military Goods, Software and Technology) is amended as follows.

(2)

For the definition of “riot control agents”, including the Technical Note, substitute—

  • ““riot control agents” (“RCAs”) means substances which, under the expected conditions of use for riot control purposes, produce rapidly in humans sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure;

    Technical Note:

    Tear gases are a subset of “RCAs”.

    Note: “RCAs” include:

    1. a-Bromobenzeneacetonitrile, (Bromobenzyl cyanide) (CA) (CAS 5798-79-8);

    2. [(2-chlorophenyl) methylene] propanedinitrile, (o-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) (CS) (CAS 2698-41-1);

    3. 2-Chloro-1-phenylethanone, Phenylacyl chloride (ω-chloroacetophenone) (CN) (C reinforced AS 532-27-4);

    4. Dibenz-(b,f)-1,4-oxazepine, (CR) (CAS 257-07-8);

    5. 10-Chloro-5,10-dihydrophenarsazine, (Phenarsazine chloride), (Adamsite), (DM) (CAS 578-94-9);

    6. N-Nonanoylmorpholine, (MPA) (CAS 5299-64-9).”.

(b)

in entry ML7.b., for “warfare” substitute “Warfare”;

(c)

for entry ML7.d., not including the notes, substitute—

““RCAs”, active constituent chemicals and combinations thereof;”.

(5)

In entry ML8—

(7)

After entry ML19.f., and before the Technical Note, insert—

“

Note 1:DEW systems specified in ML19. include systems whose capability is derived from the controlled application of:
a. “Lasers” of sufficient power to effect destruction similar to the manner of conventional ammunition;
b. Particle accelerators which project a charged or neutral particle beam with destructive power;
c. High pulsed power or high average power radio frequency beam transmitters, which produce fields sufficiently intense to disable electronic circuitry at a distant target.
Note 2:ML19. includes the following when specially designed for DEW systems:
a. Prime power generation, energy storage, switching, power conditioning or fuel-handling equipment;
b. Target acquisition or tracking systems;
c. Systems capable of assessing target damage, destruction or mission abort;
d. Beam-handling, propagation or pointing equipment;
e. Equipment with rapid beam slew capability for rapid multiple target operations;
f. Adaptive optics and phase conjugators;
g. Current injectors for negative hydrogen ion beams;
h. “Space-qualified” accelerator components;
i. Negative ion beam funnelling equipment;
j. Equipment for controlling and slewing a high energy ion beam;
k. “Space-qualified” foils for neutralising negative hydrogen isotope beams.
