This work grew out of a preliminary announcement (Notices of the Amer. Math. Soc. 18 (1971)). Here we modify the definition of residual finiteness given in [2]. This allows us, first of all, to consider a broader class of rings which are “essentially” residually finite and, secondly, to extend the notion to schemes. We then show that, for various topologies on the category of schemes, our notion of residual finiteness is local so that all relevant questions appear already at the ring level.
