[Physstaff] Chemical Weapons Declaration 2014

[Adrian Cross]

Dear Physics staff,

On behalf of the University, Safety Services have received the annual request from the Department for Energy and Climate Change to complete and return declarations for 2014 under the Chemical Weapons Act 1996.  This declaration is done electronically by the nominated person in Safety Services once receipts from all departments have been collated.  The University has an obligation to declare:

  *   any of the chemicals listed in Schedule 2 to the Chemical Weapons Convention which are produced, processed, consumed, imported or exported in the past calendar year;

  *   any of the chemicals listed in Schedule 3 to the Chemical Weapons Convention which are produced, imported or exported, in the past calendar year.

The following link directs you to the full Aggregate National Data guidance<https://itportal.decc.gov.uk/eng/fox/live/CWC_APDAND_HELP#BACKGROUND> for completing the University’s CWC declaration.  Note this is designed for the nominated person in Safety Services who is required to complete the online declaration, however it contains useful information should your department have chemicals to declare.

I also attach 2 documents:

1.       A departmental declaration form for those departments with chemicals to declare.  This must be completed electronically and returned to safety services . 

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE
************************************************
A NIL RESPONSE IS TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSiCS.
IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR YOUR RESEARCH ACTIVITY THEN PLEASE LET a.w.cross at strath.ac.uk KNOW BY e-mail BY 5pm ON MONDAY THE 12th OF JANUARY 2015
************************************************

2.       The Aggregate National Data (AND) Annex to assist completion of the declaration including:
v  Annex A - the CWC list of Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 chemicals;
v  Annex C - definitions of terms used;
v  Annex D - a simple flow diagram which will assist in assessing the need for a departmental declaration.

The Chemical Weapons Convention National Authority (CWCNA) require a collective response from the University.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Kind regards,

Adrian Cross
