weight which may be the same as, or higher or lower (for
example, after formation of a derivative by the process
commonly known as dehydrogenation) than that of the

Regulations.

2. (1) In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires

'antimonial poisons- means organic and inorganic compounds of
antimony;

arsenic;

'British Pharmaceutical Codex', 'British Pharmacopoeia', 'British
National Formulary' and 'British Veterinary Codex' include the
supplements thereto;

'food' includes a beverage;

'medicine for the internal treatment of human and animal ailments'
includes any medicine to be administered by injection, but does

'Tribunal' means the Pharmacy and Poisons Appeal Tribunal
established by section 30 of the Ordinance;

veterinary institution' means a veterinary hospital, veterinary clinic or
other premises where sick animals are treated.

(2) In these regulations any reference to an alkaloid shall include a
reference to any salt of that alkaloid, and, in a case where the esters of
an alkaloid are included in the Poisons List by virtue of the words 'its
esters', to any esters of that alkaloid.

(3) Any reference in the Schedules to these regulations to the
percentage of a poison contained in any substance or preparation shall,
unless otherwise expressly provided, be construed in the following
manner, that is to say, a reference to a substance or preparation
containing 1 per cent of any poison means

(a)in the case of a solid, that 1 gramme of the poison is
contained in every 100 grammes of the substance or
preparation;





(b)in the case of a liquid, that 1 millilitre of the poison, or, if the
poison itself is a solid, 1 gramme of the poison, is contained in
every 100 millilitres of the substance or preparation,

and so in proportion for any greater or less percentage.

(4) Substances listed under the headings 'A' in the Schedules to
these regulations are those whose uses are essentially medicinal, whilst
substances listed under the headings 'B' are not normally used
medicinally.

(5) Where in these regulations reference is made to a numbered
section the reference shall be a reference to that section of the
Ordinance.

(6) Where functions are conferred on a committee by any provision
of these regulations, references in such provision to 'the Committee'
shall be construed as references to the executive committee established
under section 4A of the Ordinance for the purpose of performing such
functions.

3. Section 22 (which sets out the person to whom poisons included
in Part 1 of the Poisons List may be sold and which requires the making
of entries in the poisons book) shall apply to substances included in
the First Schedule other than those substances included in the Third
Schedule.

4. (1) Subject to paragraph (2), the provisions of section 27 and
regulations 12 to 17 (which provisions relate to the labelling of poisons)
shall apply to sales exempted by section 32, and shall also apply to the
supply of poisons (otherwise than on sale) and references in those
provisions to the sale and the seller of poisons shall be deemed to refer
to the supply and the supplier of poisons respectively.

(2) In the case of the sale or supply of any of the poisons included
in the Sixth Schedule to a person who

(a)carries on a business in the course of which poisons are
regularly sold by way of wholesale dealing or are regularly
used in the manufacture of other articles; and

(b) requires the poison for the purpose of that business,

if the outside of the package in which the poison is sold or supplied is
labelled conspicuously with words indicating the dangerous properties
of the poison, it shall be necessary to comply only with regulation 15
and section 27(a) and section 27(d) (as modified by regulation 17).

5. (1) Section 22 shall apply to sales exempted by section 32, except
sales of poisons to be exported to purchasers outside Hong Kong, and
shall also apply to the supply in the form of a commercial sample,
otherwise than on sale, of any substance included in the First Schedule
in like manner as if references in section 22 to the sale and seller of
poisons respectively included references to the supply and the supplier
of poisons in the form of commercial samples:





Provided that section 22 shall not apply to the sale or supply of
any article by the manufacturer thereof or by a person carrying on a
business in the course of which poisons are regularly sold by way of
wholesale dealing, if

(a)the article is sold or supplied to a person carrying on a
business in the course of which poisons are regularly sold or
are regularly used in the manufacture of other articles; and

(b)the seller or supplier is reasonably satisfied that the purchaser
requires the article for the purpose of that business.

(2) Section 22(1) shall, in its application to sales exempted by
section 32 and to the supply in the form of commercial samples of
substances included in the First Schedule, be deemed to be satisfied if
the person to whom the poison or sample is sold or supplied is known
by the person in charge of the department of the business through
which the sale or supply is effected to be a person to whom the poison
or sample may properly be sold or supplied.

(3) Subject to paragraph (4), so much of section 22(3)(b) as requires
an entry in the poisons book to be signed by the purchaser of a poison
shall not, as respects the sale of a poison to a person for the purpose of
his trade, business or profession, apply if the following requirements are
satisfied

(a)the seller shall obtain before the completion of the sale an
order in writing signed by the purchaser stating his name and
address, trade, business or profession, the name and quantity
of the article to be purchased, and the purpose for which it is
required;

(b)the seller shall be reasonably satisfied that the signature is
that of the person purporting to have signed the order, and
that that person carries on the trade, business or profession
stated in the order, being one in which the poison to be
purchased is used; and

(c)if the article sold is sent by post, it shall be sent by registered
post.

(4) Where a person represents that he urgently requires a poison
for the purpose of his trade, business or profession, the seller may, if he
is reasonably satisfied that the person so requires the poison and is, by
reason of some emergency, unable before delivery either to furnish to
the seller an order in writing duly signed or to attend and sign the entry
in the book, deliver the poison to the purchaser on an undertaking by
the purchaser to furnish such an order within 48 hours next following.

(5) Any purchaser by whom an undertaking under paragraph (4)
has been given who fails to deliver to the seller a signed order in
accordance with the undertaking, or any person who for the purpose of
obtaining delivery of any poison makes a statement which is to his
knowledge false in any material particular shall be guilty of an offence
and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $10,000 and to
imprisonment for 12 months.





(6) In the case of a sale or the supplying of a poison included
in the First Schedule to an institution such of the provisions of this
regulation as require the purchaser to state his trade, business or
profession and the seller to be satisfied with respect thereto shall not
apply and for the reference in paragraph (4) to the purposes of the
purchaser's trade, business or profession there shall be substituted in
the case of any such sale a reference to the name of the institution
and the full name and rank or position held at the institution of the
person making the order.

6. The requirements of section 28(3) (which requires particu-
lars of medicines supplied or dispensed under that section to be
entered in a book) shall be satisfied in respect of medicines included
in the First Schedule, but need not be satisfied in respect of other
medicines which are supplied by-
(a)a registered medical practitioner for the purposes of medi-
cal treatment; or
(b)an authorized seller of poisons on and in accordance with a
prescription given by a registered medical practitioner.

stances in the First Schedule shall not apply to-
(a) machine-spread plasters;
