Cheminformatics solutions have the potential to support such a shift by enabling export control and customs officers to handle control lists that contain families of chemicals.
Thus, for some entries of the AG Chemical Weapons Precursors list, it would be advisable to expand the coverage by listing families of related chemicals rather than individual chemicals, as it is already the case for several entries of the Chemical Weapons Convention Schedules.
Listing individual chemicals may open loopholes that could be exploited by proliferators, who could seek to procure a closely related analog of a controlled chemical.
The AG Chemical Weapons Precursors list features dual-use chemicals that can be used as precursors for the synthesis of chemical weapons, all individually enumerated.
The Australia Group (AG) is a forum of like-minded states seeking to harmonize export controls to prevent the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons.

and then through the rapid development of specific, narrow-spectrum medical countermeasures.
The aim is to acquire the capability to address unknown or yet to be identified chemical and biological threats (including naturally occurring diseases) first through the deployment of existing non-specific, broad-spectrum medical countermeasures
Here is the document, which describes a two-pronged approach based broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum medical countermeasures.
