(b) shrouding of sensitive displays, stores, and equipment;
(c) shrouding of sensitive pieces of equipment, such as computer or electronic systems;
(d) logging off of computer systems and turning off of data indicating devices;
(e) restriction of sample analysis to presence or absence of chemicals listed in Schedules 1, 2 and 3 or appropriate degradation products;

(g) in exceptional cases, giving only individual inspectors access to certain parts of the inspection site.

(b) for facilities without facility agreements, negotiation of access and activities shall be governed by the applicable general inspection guidelines established under this Convention;
(c) access beyond that granted for inspections under Articles IV, V and VI shall be managed in accordance with procedures of this section.
52. In the case of facilities declared pursuant to Article III, paragraph 1(d), the following shall apply: if the inspected State Party, using procedures of paragraphs 47 and 48, has not granted full access to areas or structures not related to chemical weapons, it shall make every reasonable effort to demonstrate to the inspection team that such areas or structures are not used for purposes related to the possible non‑compliance concerns raised in the inspection request.
