What are the general guidelines for routine inspections of commercial Schedule 2 facilities?
Commercial facilities that produce, process, or consume Schedule 2 chemicals in quantities in excess of the following thresholds are subject to inspection at any time: 10 kilograms of a chemical that has been weaponized, such as benzilate; 1 metric ton of highly-toxic chemicals, such Amiton or PFIB, that could be used as chemical weapons; and 10 metric tons of other Schedule 2 chemicals that have been or could be used as precursors. (See tables 2 and 3.) These facilities receive an initial inspection during which a facility agreement is to be prepared, unless otherwise agreed. The need for and frequency of subsequent inspections at each Schedule 2 site is based upon evaluations of the nature of the activity taking place and the site’s risk factors.
