DUAL-USE LIST Note 1: Terms in "quotations" are defined terms. Refer to 'Definitions of Terms used in these Lists' annexed to this List. Note 2: In some instances chemicals are listed by name and Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers. GENERAL TECHNOLOGY NOTE The export of "technology" which is "required" for the "development", "production" or "use" of items controlled in the Dual-Use List is controlled according to the provisions in each Category.
