SCHEDULE 1

Articles 3 and 6

PROHIBITED GOODS, SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY

Note: In this Schedule, defined terms are printed in quotation marks.

General Technology Note
1. Subject to paragraph 2 below, the export or transfer of "technology" in this Schedule is prohibited by Articles 3 and 6 of this Order if it is capable of being "required" for the "development", "production" or "use" of "goods" or "software" in this Schedule, whether or not the "technology" being exported or transferred in the particular case is intended to be applied in respect of such "goods" or "software".

2. The prohibitions in Articles 3 and 6 do not apply to that "technology" which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of "goods" or "software" not in this Schedule, to "technology""in the public domain", to "basic scientific research" or to the minimum necessary for patent applications.

Definitions
In this Schedule:

"adapted for use in war" means any modification or selection (e.g., altering purity, shelf life, virulence, dissemination characteristics, or resistance to ultra violet (UV) radiation) designed to increase the effectiveness in producing casualties in humans or animals, degrading equipment or damaging crops or the environment;

"basic scientific research" means experimental or theoretical work undertaken principally to acquire new knowledge of the fundamental principles of phenomena or observable facts, not primarily directed towards a specific practical aim or objective;

"biocatalyst" means enzymes for specific chemical or biochemical reactions and other biological compounds which bind to and accelerate the degradation of chemical warfare (CW) agents;

"biopolymer" means the following biological macromolecules:

Technical Note:

"Monoclonal antibodies" means proteins which bind to a specific antigenic site and are produced by a single clone of cells;

"Polyclonal antibodies" means a mixture of proteins which bind to a specific antigen and are produced by more than one clone of cells;

"Anti-idiotypic antibodies" means antibodies which bind to the specific antigen binding sites of other antibodies;

"Receptors" means biological macromolecular structures capable of binding ligands, the binding of which affects physiological functions.

"development" means all stages prior to "production"(e.g., design, design research, design analyses, design concepts, assembly and testing of prototypes, pilot production schemes, design data, process of transforming design data into "goods" or "software", configuration design, integration design, layouts);

"end-effectors" means grippers, active tooling units (i.e., devices for applying motive power, process energy or sensing to the workpiece) and any other tooling that is attached to the baseplate on the end of a "robot" manipulator arm;

"energetic materials" means substances or mixtures that react chemically to release energy required for their intended application; "explosives", "pyrotechnics" and "propellants" are subclasses of energetic materials;

"explosives" means solid, liquid or gaseous substances or mixtures of substances which, in their application as primary, booster, or main charges in warheads, demolition and other applications, are required to detonate;

"expression vectors" means carriers (e.g., plasmid or virus) used to introduce genetic material into host cells;

"first generation image intensifier tubes" means electrostatically focused tubes, employing input and output fibre optic or glass face plates, multi-alkali photocathodes (S-20 or S-25), but not microchannel plate amplifiers;

"improvised explosive devices" means devices fabricated or intended to be placed in an improvised manner incorporating destructive, lethal, noxious, "pyrotechnic" or incendiary chemicals designed to destroy, disfigure or harass; they may incorporate military stores, but are normally devised from non-military components;

"laser" means an assembly of components which produce both spatially and temporally coherent light which is amplified by stimulated emission of radiation;

"nuclear reactor" means the "goods" within or attached directly to the reactor vessel, the equipment which controls the level of power in the core, and the components which normally contain, come into direct contact with or control the primary coolant of the reactor core;

"production" means all production stages (e.g., product engineering, manufacture, integration, assembly (mounting), inspection, testing, quality assurance);

"propellants" means substances or mixtures that react chemically to produce large volumes of hot gases at controlled rates to perform mechanical work;

Technical Note:

"Critical temperature"(also known as the transition temperature) of a specific "superconductive" material means the temperature at which the specific material loses all resistance to the flow of direct electrical current.
