(b) in the case of salts, percentages shall be calculated as in respect of the anhydrous base.

(2) The specification in paragraph 1 of Part I of the First Schedule of a substance shall, if the existence of isomers of that substance is possible within the specific chemical designation thereof, be taken to comprehend the specification of any isomer of that substance whose existence is possible as aforesaid; and any other reference in the First Schedule to a substance specified in paragraph 1 of Part I thereof shall be construed accordingly.
