19  Special considerations relating to permits for the operation of facilities in respect of Schedule 1 chemicals
 (1) If a person makes application for a permit to operate a facility so far as concerns the production, acquisition, retention or use of Schedule 1 chemicals at the facility, or the transfer of Schedule 1 chemicals from the facility, that permit may, if it authorises production, and whether or not it authorises any other of those activities, differ according to:
 (a) the quantity of the chemicals intended to be produced; and
 (b) the purposes for which all the chemicals to which the permit will relate are to be applied.
 (2) A permit to operate a facility during a year in respect of Schedule 1 chemicals must not be granted unless the chemicals concerned are to be applied for research, medical, pharmaceutical or protective purposes.
 (3) A permit to operate a facility:
 (a) if it authorises the production of more than 10 kilograms of Schedule 1 chemicals may only; and
 (b) if it authorises the production of a lesser amount of Schedule 1 chemicals may;

 (4) A permit to operate a facility:
 (a) if it authorises the production during a year of less than 10 kilograms of Schedule 1 chemicals; and

 (5) A permit to operate a facility:
 (a) if it authorises the production during a year of less than 10 kilograms of Schedule 1 chemicals; and
 (b) all the chemicals to which the permit relates are to be applied for research, medical or pharmaceutical purposes;
may be granted in respect of the facility to be designated in the permit as a research facility.
 (6) A permit to operate a facility:
 (a) if it does not authorise the production at the facility, during a year, of any Schedule 1 chemical; and
 (b) if it authorises the acquisition, retention or use at, or transfer from, the facility during that year, of more than 100 grams of Schedule 1 chemicals;
may be granted in respect of the facility to be designated as a consumption facility.
 (7) The fact that a facility may be designated in a particular manner does not require it to be so designated.
 (8) A facility must not be designated in a permit as a single small‑scale facility unless:
 (a) production is to be carried out in reaction vessels in production lines not configured for continuous operation; and
