Includes CW agents used in World War I and key CW precursors. Industrial-scale production1 Import Export Cosmetics (surfactants, buffers) Pharmaceuticals (active ingredients, surfactants) Agriculture (pesticides) Mining (natural gas treatment, ore-extraction processes) Automotive products Cement additives Other chemical production of Discrete Organic Chemicals (DOCs), including those containing phosphorus, sulphur and fluorine (PSF-DOCs) production1 Agricultural (pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers) Cosmetics (surfactants, buffers) Inks and dyes Plastics (synthesis of monomers for polymerisation) 1Refer to glossary for definitions. AUSTRALIAN LEGISLATION Australia implements its CWC obligations through the following legislation and associated regulations. These are available through the Attorney-General’s Department ComLaw website (www.comlaw.gov.au). The Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Act 1994; The Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Regulations 1997; The Customs Act 1901; The Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 (5J); and The Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958 (13E). These laws enable the Australian Government to enforce the ban on chemical weapons, obtain information from relevant facilities on activities declarable under the CWC, and regulate imports and exports of CWC-Scheduled chemicals. They also allow for OPCW inspections of declared chemical facilities. FACILITY PERMITS AND NOTIFICATIONS
