18.  For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a) a thing is specified in or by a Dual-Use Code if it would be specified in or by that code in accordance with the Dual-Use Regulation;

Interpretation U.K.

19.—(1) In this Schedule, a reference to any item includes that item whether it is new or used.

[F2 (2) A reference in this Schedule to a “CAS No” followed by a numerical sequence is a reference to the CAS Registry Numbers (CAS numbers) assigned to chemicals by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. In some instances chemicals are listed by name and 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.]

(3) For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the meaning given to them in the Dual-Use Regulation—

• “development”;

• “production”;

• “software”;

• “technology”;

• “use”.
