List of poisons and narcotic substances
The lists of particularly dangerous poisons, other poisons and narcotic drugs are set out in Annexes 1 to 3 to this Decree. Poison and narcotic substances listed in these lists shall be considered as poisons and narcotic drugs within the meaning of Sections 187 and 188 of the Criminal Law.
Assessment of poisons and narcotic substances
(1) The application for the assessment of a substance or preparation as regards poisons must be supported by:
(a) the technical standard of the substance (s) or, where appropriate, its proposal, or any other similar document containing information on its technical characteristics and main uses;
(b) data on the qualitative and quantitative chemical composition;
(c) the results of the toxicological examination enabling the assessment of the substance (s) or of the literary evidence of such results and, where appropriate, of human experience gained in the use of the substance (s); such data need not be added to substances listed in the poison lists referred to in Section 1 if they are part of the preparation for which assessment is requested.
(2) In the case of imported substances (products), the documents referred to in paragraph 1 may be replaced by similar external documents enabling the assessment and proof of the health or degree of health of the substance (product) by foreign authorities. If no precise chemical composition can be established for the imported product, the content of substances included in the lists of particularly dangerous poisons or other poisons shall be indicated at least, or a declaration that the imported product does not contain these substances.
(3) The application for the assessment of a substance or preparation in respect of narcotic substances shall be accompanied by the evidence and data provided by the Ministry of Health for the assessment of medicinal products before they are put into circulation.
Authorisation for handling particularly hazardous poisons and narcotic substances
(1) In the application for authorisation to treat particularly dangerous poisons, the organisation shall specify:
(a) the species of particularly dangerous poisons it intends to treat;
(b) the nature and manner of the intended activity;
(c) where and in what quantities particularly dangerous poisons will be stored;
(d) measures to ensure the protection of people;
(e) measures to protect the environment (ways of disposal by exhalation and waste water, ways of disposal of solid waste or residues), and, where appropriate, measures to protect the health of food and articles of common use;
(f) a statement stating that the persons responsible for carrying out the work with particularly dangerous poisons, their storage and their registration have the required professional competence;

(d) a statement that the persons responsible for the treatment and registration of narcotic substances have the required professional competence.
(3) Authorisations for the manufacture, preparation, processing, import, supply (sale), storage and use of narcotic drugs may be issued only for the purposes of medical preventive care, veterinary care and scientific research purposes. Only in very exceptional cases can the Ministry of Health allow a one-off collection of narcotic drugs for other purposes (for teaching, for carrying out chemical analyses outside health control institutes, etc.). The import and export of narcotic drugs shall be governed by international trade rules in narcotic drugs. *)
(4) The authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 or 2 shall indicate the name and registered office of the organisation, the number and date of the application, the types of particularly dangerous poisons or narcotic substances and the types of activity covered by the authorisation, the duration of the authorisation and, where appropriate, the place of use of the particularly dangerous poisons or narcotic substances and other particulars and conditions under which the authorisation is granted.
Medicinal (sale) poisons, corrosives and narcotic drugs

(3) Particularly dangerous poisons may be issued to individual persons in accordance with Article 5 of the Regulation only on presentation of the identity card and not more than the quantity indicated in the authorisation. A worker issuing a particularly dangerous poison shall be required to enter on the authorisation the quantity of poison issued and the date of issue, the name and surname of the person to whom the poison was issued, the number of his identity card, stamp the organisation and sign the registration. Authorisations thus completed shall remain in the organisation which issued the poison for five years.

Registration of particularly hazardous poisons and narcotic substances
(1) The records of particularly dangerous poisons and narcotic substances must contain all the necessary data. The paper documents shall be adapted and kept in such a way that the particulars contained therein cannot be subsequently altered, removed or deleted; the incorrect data must be corrected so that the original entry remains legible.
(2) The model for keeping records of particularly dangerous poisons is set out in Annex 5 to this Decree.
(3) Registration of particularly dangerous poisons in production may be carried out in the form of an operating record or other form which meets the requirements laid down in paragraph 1; however, in accordance with the model set out in Annex No 5 to this Regulation, records of reception and disposal must always be kept in storage.
(4) (* * *) Organisations for the health production and supply of medicinal products shall submit to the Ministry of Health within the time limits a statistical statement of the state of stocks, income, production, import, supply and export of narcotic drugs, as well as the amount of raw materials, production losses and disposal of narcotic drugs.
