Dear all,
I would like to understand the meaning of the phrase above.
Does it mean- There is no schedule number allocated for this poison?
Unfortunately there is no more text to provide.
Many thanks in advance!

no schedule number allocated for this substance
Yes, your basic idea is right: no number has been allocated for this substance on the 'poisons schedule' (= official list of poisonous substances).
However, do note that since it doesn't figure on this list, it may not actually be a poison — i.e. a perfectly harmless substance might quite legitimately not figure on this list. (of course, it might also be a poisonous substance that simply hasn't got its number yet!)

the number to the poison schedule is not assigned
Poison scheduling provides a means of classifying poisons to identify the degree of control to exercise over their availability to the public.

According the link above, there are 9 schedules, i.e. Schedule 1 thru Schedule 9 according to their toxicity, being 9 the highest (the most dangerous).

Seems like this classifying depends on the country.
Below is a link for Hong Kong.

So, what you guess above is correct. There is no schedule number assigned or allocated for this poison.

: The idea is right, but I'm afraid the actual way you've expressed it isn't very idiomatic, and could also be taken has having a slightly skewed meaning
