Dual-use applications for chemical manufacturing equipment have
been recognized as a concern for many years, and export-control
regulations worldwide are in place as a result. These regulations,
in conjunction with the verification and inspection requirements of
Article VI of the Chemical Weapons Convention, are designed to
support non-proliferation of manufacturing equipment suitable for
production of chemical warfare agents. In recent years,
globalization has changed the distribution of chemical
manufacturing facilities around the world. This has increased the
burden on current inspection regimes, and increased the amount of
manufacturing equipment available around the world. Movement of
that equipment, both domestically and as part of international
trade, has increased to accommodate these market shifts. To better
understand the movement and tracking of chemical manufacturing
equipment of dual-use concern, the Project on Advanced Systems and
Concepts for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction at the Naval
Postgraduate School contracted with the Board on Chemical Sciences
and Technology of the National Research Council to hold a workshop
on the global movement and tracking of chemical manufacturing
equipment. The workshop, held in May 2014, looked at key concerns
regarding the availability and movement of equipment for chemical
manufacturing, particularly used and decommissioned equipment that
is of potential dual-use concern. The workshop examined today's
industrial, security, and political contexts in which these
materials are being produced, regulated, and transferred. The
workshop also facilitated discussions about current practices,
including consideration of their congruence with current
technologies and security threats in the global chemical industrial
system. The Global Movement and Tracking of Chemical Manufacturing
Equipment summarizes the presentations and discussion of the event.
