Description
The Conference of the Parties adopted Decision SC‑12/14 amending Annex A in connection with UV‑328 by adding an additional specific exemption (described in the research as certain aircraft-related uses, expiring end of 2030). This change is relevant for companies manufacturing/using UV‑328 in exempted applications and for downstream users who must track whether an intended use remains covered by an exemption and for how long, as national implementation measures may rely on the Convention’s exemption parameters.
