SAB RECOMMENDATIONS - concern to us • 1. “Taking into consideration the convergence of chemistry and biology as it relates to the synthesis of chemicals, the TWG was of the view that any process designed for the formation of a chemical substance should be covered by the term “produced by synthesis”.

• 2. “The list of declarable OCPFs submitted by States Parties should include all facilities which fall under the definition/requirement of paragraph 1 of Part IX of the Verification Annex, regardless of the purity level of a DOC or DOC mixtures produced” • 3. Procedure for Handling Cases of Schedule 1 Chemicals as Unavoidable by-products • 4. Sampling and Analysis for Schedule 3 facilities and OCPFs 14/06/2017
