Handbook and Forms
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The The Chemical Weapons
Convention Declaration and Report Handbook should be used in conjunction with the CWCR to complete the required declaration and
report forms that are due to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The Handbook is only available
online and only in PDF file format. The handbook documents
can be opened, viewed, and printed from the CWC Website
or they can be downloaded to your PC. The handbook is
available from this site in one 112 page PDF file containing
all sections and forms1 or it is available, also from this site, broken up
into smaller PDF sections down to individual forms.
Using these PDF files, either over the Internet or downloaded to
your PC, requires that Adobe Acrobat2 be
installed on your PC.
The declaration and report forms can be completed in three ways:
- Print blank forms with Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 or higher (or any recent
Adobe Acrobat application), and complete them by hand or typewriter.
When completed please mail the signed3 declarations and
reports to:

The forms can be saved as-edited on your PC and modified

or viewing at a later time with Adobe Acrobat Reader
