The salts, if any, contained in the substances on the Tables, with the exception of sulfate, muriate and acetate, shall be under control likewise the substances they are used for.

The mixtures of several substances on Table III shall be under control in case their total concentration amounts to, or exceeds, the largest value (as per the Table) of the concentration specified for a substance.

A medicine containing several precursors on various Tables shall be under control similar to its precursor on a Table of the smallest serial number.
