The State Party shall ensure that the chemical weapons deployment configuration at its storage facilities ensures unhindered access for verification purposes in accordance with paragraphs 37-49. 9. As long as the storage facility remains closed to any movement of chemical weapons from the facility, except for their removal for destruction, the State Party may continue standard maintenance activities at the facility, including standard maintenance of chemical weapons; security monitoring and physical protection activities; and preparation of chemical weapons for destruction. 10. The following does not apply to the maintenance of chemical weapons: a) replacement of toxic substances or ammunition shells; (b) A change in the original characteristics of the ammunition or its parts or components. 11. All maintenance activities are subject to supervision by the Technical Secretariat. With. Destruction Principles and methods of destruction of chemical weapons 12. "Destruction of chemical weapons" means the process of essentially irreversible transformation of chemicals into a state unsuitable for the production of chemical weapons, which irreversibly renders unusable ammunition and other devices as such. 13. Each Participating State determines how it will destroy chemical weapons, but the following methods cannot be used for this: flooding in any body of water, burial in the ground or burning in the open air. It destroys chemical weapons only at specially designated and appropriately designed and equipped facilities. 14. Each State Party shall ensure that its chemical weapons destruction facilities are constructed and operated in such a way as to ensure the destruction of chemical weapons.; and also to ensure that the destruction process can be verified in accordance with the provisions of this Convention. The order of destruction 15. The procedure for the destruction of chemical weapons is based on the obligations specified in article I and other articles, including obligations regarding systematic on-site verification. It takes into account the interest of participating States in not reducing security during the destruction period, in building confidence at the initial stage of the destruction stage, in gradually gaining experience during the destruction of chemical weapons and applicability regardless of the actual composition of stocks and selected methods of destruction of chemical weapons. The order of destruction is based on the principle of alignment. 16. For the purpose of destruction, chemical weapons declared by each participating State are divided into three categories: Category 1: Chemical weapons based on Schedule 1 chemicals and their parts and components; Category 2: Chemical weapons based on all other chemicals and their parts and components; Category 3: Unloaded ammunition and devices, as well as equipment specifically designed for use directly in connection with the use of chemical weapons. 17. A State Party shall: (a) Begin the destruction of Category 1 chemical weapons no later than two years after the entry into force of this Convention for them and complete the destruction no later than 10 years after the entry into force of this Convention. The State Party shall destroy chemical weapons in accordance with the following destruction deadlines: i) Stage 1: No later than two years after the entry into force of this Convention, the testing of its first destruction facility is completed. No later than three years after the entry into force of this Convention, at least one percent of Category 1 chemical weapons will be destroyed; (ii) Stage 2: No later than five years after the entry into force of this Convention, at least 20 percent of Category 1 chemical weapons will be destroyed.; (iii) Phase 3: no later than seven years after the entry into force of this Convention, at least 45 per cent of Category 1 chemical weapons will be destroyed; (iv) Stage 4: no later than ten years after the entry into force of this Convention, all Category 1 chemical weapons are destroyed; b) begins the destruction of Category 2 chemical weapons no later than one year after the entry into force of this Convention and completes the destruction no later than five years after the entry into force of this Convention. Category 2 chemical weapons are destroyed in equal annual increments throughout the destruction period. The basis of comparison for such weapons is the weight of chemicals within category 2; and (c) begins destruction of category 3 chemical weapons no later than one year after the entry into force of this Convention for them and completes destruction no later than five years after the entry into force of this Convention. Category 3 chemical weapons are destroyed in equal annual increments throughout the destruction period. The basis of comparison for unloaded ammunition and devices is expressed by the nominal volume of equipment (m3), and for equipment by the number of units. 18. With regard to the destruction of binary chemical weapons, the following applies: a) for the purposes of the destruction procedure, the declared quantity (in tons) The amount of a key component intended for a specific toxic end product is considered as the equivalent of the amount (in tons) of this toxic end product, calculated on a stoichiometric basis based on a 100% yield.; (b) The requirement to destroy a given amount of a key component entails the requirement to destroy the corresponding amount of another component, calculated on the basis of the actual weight ratio of the components of a binary chemical munition/device of the appropriate type; (c) If, based on the actual weight ratio between the components, a larger than necessary amount of another component is declared, the destruction of the surplus is carried out in during the first two years after the start of destruction operations; (d) At the end of each subsequent year of operation, the State Party may retain another declared component in an amount determined on the basis of the actual weight ratio of the components of a binary chemical munition/device of the appropriate type. 19. For multicomponent chemical weapons, the order of destruction is similar to the order of destruction provided for binary chemical weapons. Changing the interim destruction dates 20. The Executive Board shall review the general plans for the destruction of chemical weapons submitted in accordance with paragraph 1 (a) (v) of Article III and in accordance with paragraph 6, inter alia, to assess their compliance with the destruction procedure set out in paragraphs 15-19. The Executive Council shall consult with any Participating State whose plan does not comply with this procedure in order to bring this plan into line. 21. If, due to exceptional circumstances beyond its control, a State Party considers that it cannot achieve the level of destruction provided for in stage 1, stage 2 or stage 3 of the Category 1 chemical weapons destruction procedure, it may propose changes to these levels. Such a proposal must be submitted no later than 120 days after the entry into force of this Convention, and it provides a detailed explanation of the reasons for such a proposal. 22. Each State Party shall take all necessary measures to ensure the destruction of Category 1 chemical weapons in accordance with the destruction deadlines provided for in paragraph 17 (a), as amended in accordance with paragraph 21. However, if the State Party considers that it will not be able to ensure the destruction of the percentage of Category 1 chemical weapons required by It may request the Executive Board to recommend to the Conference that it grant a postponement in connection with its commitment to comply with this deadline. Such a request must be submitted at least 180 days before the interim destruction deadline and contains a detailed explanation of the reasons for such a request and the plans of the State Party in order to ensure that it will be able to fulfill its obligation to comply with the next interim destruction deadline. 23. In the event of a postponement, the State Party still has an obligation to comply with the cumulative destruction requirements stipulated for the next destruction period. The deferrals granted under this section shall in no way alter the obligation of a State Party to destroy all Category 1 chemical weapons no later than 10 years after the entry into force of this Convention. Extension of the deadline for completing the destruction 24. If a State Party considers that it will not be able to ensure the destruction of all Category 1 chemical weapons no later than 10 years after the entry into force of this Convention, it may submit to the Executive Council a request for an extension of the deadline for completing the destruction of such chemical weapons. Such a request must be submitted no later than nine years after the entry into force of this Convention. 25. This request sets out the following: (a) The duration of the proposed postponement; (b) A detailed explanation of the reasons for the proposed postponement; and (c) a detailed destruction plan for the period of the proposed postponement and for the remainder of the initial ten-year destruction period. 26. A decision on the request shall be taken by the Conference at its next session on the recommendation of the Executive Board. Any delay shall be kept to the minimum necessary, however, the deadline for a State Party to complete its destruction of all chemical weapons in no case exceeds 15 years after the entry into force of this Convention. The Executive Council determines the conditions for granting a deferral, including the specific verification measures it deems necessary, as well as the specific actions to be taken by the State Party to overcome the problems associated with its destruction program. The costs of verification during the deferral period are distributed in accordance with paragraph 16 of article IV. 27. When granting a postponement, the State Party shall take appropriate measures to comply with all subsequent deadlines. 28. The State Party shall continue to submit detailed annual destruction plans in accordance with paragraph 29 and annual reports on the destruction of category 1 chemical weapons in accordance with paragraph 36 until the destruction of all category 1 chemical weapons. In addition, no later than by the end of every 90 days of the deferral period, the State Party shall submit to the Executive Council a report on its activities to destruction. The Executive Board reviews the progress in completing the destruction and takes the necessary measures to document this progress. All information related to destruction activities during the deferral period shall, upon request, be provided by the Executive Council to the participating States. Detailed annual destruction plans 29. Detailed annual destruction plans shall be submitted to the Technical Secretariat at least 60 days before the start of each annual destruction period in accordance with paragraph 7 (a) of Article IV, and they shall indicate: (a) the quantity of each specific type of chemical weapon to be destroyed at each destruction facility and the final dates for completing the destruction of each specific type of chemical weapon; (b) a detailed location diagram for each chemical weapons destruction facility and any changes to the previously presented schemes; and (c) A detailed schedule of activities for each chemical weapons destruction facility for the coming year, indicating the time required for the design, construction or modification of the facility, installation of equipment, inspection of equipment and training of operators, for operations to destroy each specific type of chemical weapon, as well as planned periods of downtime. 30. The State Party shall provide detailed information on the facility for each of its chemical weapons destruction facilities in order to assist the Technical Secretariat in developing preliminary inspection procedures for use at the facility. 31. Detailed information about the facility for each destruction facility includes the following: a) name, address and location; b) detailed diagrams of the facility with explanations; c) working diagrams of the facility, technological diagrams and working diagrams of piping and instrumentation; (d) Detailed technical descriptions, including operating diagrams and device specifications, of the equipment required for: extraction of chemical equipment from ammunition, devices and containers; temporary storage of evacuated chemical equipment; destruction of toxic substances; and destruction of ammunition, devices and containers; (e) Detailed technical descriptions of the destruction process, including the speed of movement of materials, temperature and pressure, as well as the calculated destruction efficiency; f) the calculated capacity for each specific type of chemical weapon; (g) A detailed description of the destruction products and the method of their final disposal; (h) A detailed technical description of measures to facilitate inspections in accordance with this Convention; (i) A detailed description of any temporary storage site at the destruction facility that will be used to deliver chemical weapons directly to the destruction facility, including diagrams of the location and facility, and also, information about the storage capacity for each specific type of chemical weapon to be destroyed at the facility.; (j) A detailed description of the security and health measures in place at the facility; (k) a detailed description of the living and work areas for inspectors; and (l) proposed international verification measures. 32.

Where appropriate, the reasons that prevented the destruction from being achieved should be indicated. D. Check Verification of chemical weapons declarations through on-site inspection 37. The purpose of verifying chemical weapons declarations is to verify, through on-site inspection, the correctness of the relevant declarations submitted in accordance with article III. 38. Inspectors carry out such an inspection immediately after the announcement is submitted. They check, among other things, the quantity and nature of chemicals, types and quantities of ammunition, devices and other equipment. 39. To facilitate the accuracy of the chemical weapons inventory at each storage facility, inspectors use appropriately coordinated seals, markings, or other inventory control procedures. 40. During the inventory process, inspectors install such agreed seals as may be necessary in order to clearly record the facts of the removal of any stocks, as well as to ensure that the storage facility is blocked during the inventory. After completing the inventory, such seals are removed, unless otherwise agreed. Systematic inspection of storage facilities 41. The purpose of the systematic inspection of storage facilities is to ensure that no undetected removal of chemical weapons from such facilities is possible. 42. Systematic verification begins as soon as possible after the chemical weapons declaration is submitted and continues until all chemical weapons are completely removed from the storage facility. It is carried out, in accordance with the facility agreement, in combination with on-site inspection and monitoring using on-site devices. 43. After the removal of all chemical weapons from the storage facility, the Technical Secretariat confirms the relevant declaration by the State Party. After such confirmation, the Technical Secretariat stops the systematic inspection of the storage facility and immediately removes any monitoring devices installed by the inspectors. Inspections and visits 44. The specific storage facility to be inspected is selected by the Technical Secretariat in such a way as to exclude the exact timing of the facility inspection. The basic principles for determining the frequency of systematic on-site inspections are developed by the Technical Secretariat, taking into account recommendations to be considered and approved by the Conference in accordance with paragraph 21 (i) of article VIII. 45. The Technical secretariat shall notify the inspected State Party of its decision to conduct an inspection or visit to the storage facility 48 hours before the scheduled arrival of the baking team at the facility for a systematic inspection or visit. In the case of inspections or visits to resolve urgent issues, this period may be shortened. The Technical secretariat indicates the purpose of the inspection or visit. 46.

In the case of an existing facility where chemical weapons destruction operations have already begun, the inspected State Party is not required to decontaminate the facility prior to an initial visit by the Technical Secretariat. The duration of the visit does not exceed five days, and the number of visitors does not exceed 15 people. 56. The agreed detailed verification plans with the relevant recommendation of the Technical Secretariat are sent for consideration. The Executive Council. The Executive Board reviews the plans for their approval in accordance with the objectives of the audit and obligations under this Conventions. Such a review should also confirm that the destruction verification plans are consistent with the verification objectives, as well as their effectiveness and feasibility. The review must be completed at least 180 days before the start of the destruction period. 57. Each member of the Executive Board may consult with the Technical Secretariat on any issues related to the adequacy of the audit plan. If none of the members of the Executive Board has any objections, then this plan is put into effect. 58. If any difficulties arise, the Executive Council shall enter into consultations with the State Party with a view to their elimination. If any difficulties remain unsolvable, they are referred to the Conference. 59. The detailed facility agreements for chemical weapons destruction facilities, taking into account the specific characteristics of the destruction facility and its operating regime, specify the following: (a) detailed on-site inspection procedures; and (b) provisions for verification through continuous monitoring using on-site devices and the physical presence of inspectors. 60.

Such access is provided for the purpose of monitoring the installation of inspection equipment, checking this equipment, testing its functioning, as well as for the purpose of conducting a final engineering study of the facility. In the case of an existing facility where chemical weapons destruction operations have already begun, destruction operations are stopped for the required minimum period of time, not exceeding 60 days, in order to install and test inspection equipment. Depending on the results of the tests and studies, the participating State and the Technical Secretariat may agree on additions or amendments to the detailed facility agreement with respect to such a facility. 61. The inspected State Party shall notify the head of the inspection team at the chemical weapons destruction facility in writing at least four hours before the departure of each batch of chemical weapons from the chemical weapons storage facility to such destruction facility. This notification indicates the name of the storage facility, the estimated time of departure and arrival, the specific types and quantities of chemical weapons being transported, the fact of export of any marked items, as well as the method of transportation. This notification may include a notification about more than one shipment. The head of the inspection team is immediately notified in writing of any changes to this information. Chemical weapons storage facilities at chemical weapons destruction facilities. 62. Inspectors check the arrival of chemical weapons at the destruction facility and the storage of these chemical weapons. Inspectors check the inventory of each shipment using agreed procedures that comply with the safety regulations in force at the facility before destroying chemical weapons. They use appropriately agreed seals, markings, or other inventory control procedures to facilitate an accurate inventory of chemical weapons prior to their destruction. 63. As soon as chemical weapons arrive and as long as they are in storage at chemical weapons storage facilities located at chemical weapons destruction facilities, these storage facilities are subject to systematic verification in accordance with the relevant facility agreements. 64. At the end of the active destruction phase, inspectors compile an inventory of chemical weapons that have been removed from the storage facility for destruction. They verify the accuracy of the inventory of the remaining chemical weapons using the inventory control procedures mentioned in paragraph 62. Systematic on-site verification measures at chemical weapons destruction facilities 65. Inspectors are given access to carry out their activities at chemical weapons destruction facilities and chemical weapons storage facilities located at such facilities during the entire active destruction phase. 66. At each chemical weapons destruction facility, in order to gain confidence in the non-transfer of chemical weapons and the completion of the destruction process, inspectors have the right, through their physical presence and monitoring using on-site devices, to verify: (a) the acceptance of chemical weapons at the facility; (b) the temporary chemical weapons storage site and the specific type and the number of chemical weapons stored at the site; (c) The specific type and quantity of chemical weapons being destroyed; (d) The destruction process; (e) The final product of destruction; (f) the deformation of metal parts; and (g) the integrity of the destruction process and the object as a whole. 67.

The agreed closure measures are taken by the State Party with due regard to the specific characteristics of each facility. Such measures include, but are not limited to: a) prohibiting the occupation of specialized buildings and standard buildings of the facility, except for agreed activities; (b) Shutdown of equipment directly related to the production of chemical weapons, including, but not limited to, control and technological equipment and communications; (c) Decommissioning of protective installations and equipment used solely to ensure the safe operation of a chemical weapons production facility; d) the installation of plugs and other devices to prevent the addition of chemicals to any specialized technological equipment for the synthesis, isolation or purification of chemicals defined as chemical weapons, in any storage container or in any mechanism for equipping chemical weapons, or to prevent the extraction of such chemicals from them, as well as to prevent heat supply, cooling or electrical and other energy supply of such equipment, storage tanks or mechanisms; and f) blocking of railway, automobile and other access roads
for access by heavy vehicles to a chemical weapons production facility, except for those required for agreed activities. 14. As long as the chemical weapons production facility remains closed, the participating State may continue security and physical protection activities at the facility. Maintenance of chemical weapons production facilities until their destruction 15. A Participating State may carry out standard maintenance activities at chemical weapons production facilities exclusively for safety reasons, including visual inspections, preventive maintenance, and routine repairs. 16. All planned maintenance activities are specified in the general and detailed destruction plans. Maintenance activities do not include: a) replacement of any technological equipment; b) modification of the characteristics of chemical processing equipment; c) production of chemicals of any type. 17. All maintenance activities are subject to supervision by the Technical Secretariat. Principles and methods of temporary conversion of chemical weapons production facilities into chemical weapons destruction facilities
18. Measures related to the temporary conversion of chemical weapons production facilities into chemical weapons destruction facilities ensure that the regime for temporarily converted facilities is at least as strict as that for non-converted chemical weapons production facilities. 19. Chemical weapons production facilities converted into chemical weapons destruction facilities prior to the entry into force of this Convention Conventions are announced by the category of chemical weapons production facilities. They are subject to an initial visit by inspectors who confirm the correctness of the information regarding these facilities. Verification is also required that the conversion of these facilities has been carried out in such a way as to render them inoperable as chemical weapons production facilities, and such verification is carried out within the framework of the measures provided for facilities that must be rendered inoperable no later than 90 days after the entry into force of this Convention. 20. A State Party that intends to convert chemical weapons production facilities shall submit to the Technical Secretariat, no later than 30 days after the entry into force of this Convention for it or no later than 30 days after the decision on temporary conversion is made, a general plan for the conversion of the facility, and subsequently submit annual plans. 21. If a State Party finds it necessary to convert another chemical weapons production facility that was closed after the entry into force of this Convention into a chemical weapons destruction facility, it shall inform the Technical Secretariat at least 150 days before the conversion. The Technical Secretariat, together with the State Party, shall verify that the necessary measures have been taken to ensure that, after the conversion, the facility is rendered inoperable as a chemical weapons production facility. 22. A facility converted for the destruction of chemical weapons should not be more suitable for the resumption of chemical weapons production than a chemical weapons production facility that has been closed and is under maintenance, and it should take at least as long to resume its activities as in the case of a closed and maintained chemical weapons production facility. 23. Converted facilities for the production of chemical weapons are destroyed no later than 10 years after the entry into force of this Convention. Conventions. 24. Any measures for the conversion of any given chemical weapons production facility are linked to a specific facility and depend on its individual characteristics. 25. The set of measures implemented to convert a chemical weapons production facility into a chemical weapons destruction facility is no less broad than the set of measures envisaged for decommissioning other chemical weapons production facilities, which are to be implemented no later than 90 days after the entry into force of this Convention for a State Party. Principles and methods related to the destruction of a chemical weapons production facility 26. The State Party shall destroy the equipment and buildings covered by the definition of a chemical weapons production facility as follows: (a) All specialized equipment and standard equipment shall be physically destroyed; (b) all specialized buildings and standard buildings are physically destroyed. 27. The State Party destroys facilities for the production of unloaded chemical munitions and equipment for the use of chemical weapons as follows: a) facilities used exclusively for the production of non-chemical parts for chemical munitions or equipment specifically designed for use directly in connection with the use of chemical weapons are declared and destroyed. The destruction process and its verification shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of article V and this part of this Annex, which govern the destruction of chemical weapons production facilities; b) All equipment intended or used exclusively for the production of non-chemical parts for chemical munitions is physically destroyed.

The procedure for the destruction of chemical weapons production facilities is based on the obligations set out in article I and other articles of this Convention, including obligations related to systematic on-site verification. It takes into account the interest of participating States in not reducing security during the destruction period; building confidence at the initial stage of the destruction stage; gradually gaining experience during the destruction of chemical weapons production facilities and applicability, regardless of the actual characteristics of the facilities and the chosen methods of their destruction. The destruction order is based on the principle of alignment. 29. For each period of destruction, the State Party determines which chemical weapons production facilities are to be destroyed and carries out the destruction in such a way that by the end of each period of destruction the remainder is no more than that specified in paragraphs 30 and 31. The State Party is not prohibited from destroying its facilities at a faster rate. 30. The following provisions shall apply to chemical weapons production facilities that produce Schedule 1 chemicals: (a) A State Party shall begin the destruction of such facilities no later than one year after the entry into force of this Convention for it and complete it no later than 10 years after the entry into force of this Convention. Conventions. For a State that is a Party at the time of entry into force of this Convention, this total period is divided into three separate destruction periods, namely 2-5 years, 6-8 years and 9-10 years. For States that become Parties after the entry into force of this Convention, the destruction periods shall be adjusted taking into account paragraphs 28 and 29; (b) Production capacity is used as a comparison factor for such facilities. It is expressed in tons of toxic substances, taking into account the rules established for binary chemical weapons; (c) At the end of the eighth year after the entry into force of this Convention, appropriate agreed production capacity levels are established. Production facilities that exceed the appropriate level are destroyed in equal increments during the first two destruction periods; d) the requirement to destroy a given amount of capacity entails a requirement for the destruction of any other chemical weapons production facility that supplied a Schedule 1 facility or equipped ammunition or devices with a Schedule 1 chemical produced there; f) chemical weapons production facilities that were temporarily
converted to destroy chemical weapons, still subject to the obligation to destroy facilities in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. 31. A State Party shall begin the destruction of chemical weapons production facilities not covered by paragraph 30 no later than one year after the entry into force of this Convention for it and complete it no later than five years after the entry into force of this Convention.
