OPCW Releases Scheduled Chemicals Database
Contains information on over 1,300 scheduled chemicals declared to the OPCW, as well as all scheduled chemicals that had been assigned CAS Registry Numbers, amounting to an additional 28,000 chemicals.
The Scheduled Chemicals Database is a tool developed by the Technical Secretariat to facilitate the identification of scheduled chemicals by National Authorities, customs authorities, and the chemical industry for the purposes of implementing the declaration and transfer provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention. This database has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union.
The Scheduled Chemicals Database contains information on over 1,300 scheduled chemicals declared to the OPCW that are contained in the Handbook on Chemicals 2009, as well as all scheduled chemicals that had been assigned Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Numbers as at 13 January 2009, amounting to an additional 28,000 chemicals. Although the database contains more than 29,000 scheduled chemicals, it does not contain all possible scheduled chemicals. Owing to the nature of the families of chemicals covered under the schedules, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive database of all scheduled chemicals.
The Scheduled Chemicals Database provides information on chemical identifiers such as CAS Registry Numbers, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and CAS chemical names, synonyms, and World Customs Organization Harmonized System codes.
The database is accessible via the Internet, through the OPCW website. Owing to licensing issues, the Secretariat will not be able to provide copies of the database, and access will be provided to registered users only. Registration is free and open to all. New users are required to provide a valid e-mail address in order to receive confirmation of registration. In accordance with the privacy statement on the OPCW website, information requested during the registration process will be used only for statistical purposes in order to improve the database in the future, and will not be published for general access.
The point of contact for feedback and enquiries on the Scheduled Chemicals Database is:
