# §710.4. Overview of scheduled chemicals and examples of affected industries.


The following provides examples of the types of industries that may be affected by the CWCR (parts [710](/cfr/15/part710.md) through [729](/cfr/15/part729.md) of this subchapter). These examples are not exhaustive, and you should refer to parts [712](/cfr/15/part712.md) through [715](/cfr/15/part715.md) of the CWCR to determine your obligations.

- (a) **Schedule 1 chemicals are listed in supplement no.** 1 to [part 712](/cfr/15/part712.md) of the CWCR. Schedule 1 chemicals have little or no use in industrial and agricultural industries, but may have limited use for research, pharmaceutical, medical, public health, or protective purposes.
- (b) **Schedule 2 chemicals are listed in supplement no.** 1 to [part 713](/cfr/15/part713.md) of the CWCR. Although Schedule 2 chemicals may be useful in the production of chemical weapons, they also have legitimate uses in areas such as:
  - (1) Flame retardant additives and research;
  - (2) Dye and photographic industries (e.g., printing ink, ball point pen fluids, copy mediums, paints, etc.);
  - (3) Medical and pharmaceutical preparation (e.g., anticholinergics, arsenicals, tranquilizer preparations);
  - (4) Metal plating preparations;
  - (5) Epoxy resins; and
  - (6) **Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, defoliants, and rodenticides.**
- (c) **Schedule 3 chemicals are listed in supplement no.** 1 to [part 714](/cfr/15/part714.md) of the CWCR. Although Schedule 3 chemicals may be useful in the production of chemical weapons, they also have legitimate uses in areas such as:
  - (1) **The production of—**
    - (i) Resins;
    - (ii) Plastics;
    - (iii) Pharmaceuticals;
    - (iv) Pesticides;
    - (v) Batteries;
    - (vi) Cyanic acid;
    - (vii) Toiletries, including perfumes and scents;
    - (viii) Organic phosphate esters (e.g., hydraulic fluids, flame retardants, surfactants, and sequestering agents); and
  - (2) **Leather tannery and finishing supplies.**
- (d) Unscheduled discrete organic chemicals are used in a wide variety of commercial industries, and include acetone, benzoyl peroxide and propylene glycol.
