The term "precursors of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances" refers to certain chemicals that are normally used in numerous industrial and pharmaceutical processes in a completely legal manner, but which can also play an important role in the illicit production and preparation of drugs of abuse. These substances are regulated both at the Community and national level, based on the objectives set out in the Vienna Convention.

The legislation divides the precursors currently under control into four categories and provides for different obligations depending on the category to which they belong.
All companies involved in the manufacture, transformation, trade or distribution of classified substances are subject to certain obligations, providing for a series of registrations, licenses or authorizations necessary for the import and export of the products involved. The legislation also provides for the obligation to submit an annual report to the Ministry of Health for transactions involving certain categories.
