LIST OF DUAL-USE GOODS AS SET OUT IN ANNEX I TO THE DECISION

NOTES TO ANNEX 1

TECHNOLOGY

The control of technology transfer in this Annex is limited to tangible forms.

NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY NOTE (NTN)

(To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0.)

The transfer of “technology” directly associated with any goods in Category 0, will be subject to as great a degree of scrutiny and control as will the goods.

“Technology” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods.

The approval of goods for export also authorizes the export to the same end-user of the minimum “technology” required for the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the goods.

Controls on “technology” transfer do not apply to information “in the public domain” or to “basic scientific research”.

GENERAL TECHNOLOGY NOTE (GTN)

(To be read in conjunction with section E of Categories 1 to 9.)

The transfer of “technology” which is “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods controlled in Categories 1 to 9, is controlled according to the provisions of Categories 1 to 9.

“Technology” “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods.

The approval of goods for export also authorizes the export to the same end-user of the minimum “technology” required for the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the goods.

N.B.: This does not release the repair “technology” specified in 8E002.a.

Controls on “technology” transfer do not apply to information “in the public domain” or to “basic scientific research”.

GENERAL SOFTWARE NOTE (GSN)

(This note overrides any control within section D of Categories 0 to 9)

TABLE—DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES—TECHNICAL NOTE:

Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:

  1. a.

    Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, “composite”, dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate.

    N.B.: Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or “laser” irradiation.

    1. 1.

      CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal decomposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes.

    2. 2.

      Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.

    3. 3.

      The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation process, except: that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.

  2. b.

    Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less than 0.1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned substrates.

    The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary modification of the process.

    The use of ion or electron beams, or plasma, to activate or assist the coating’s deposition is also a common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes.

    Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:

    1. 1.

      Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the material which forms the coating;

    2. 2.

      Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating sources capable of producing a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;

    3. 3.

      “Laser” Evaporation uses either pulsed or continuous wave “laser” beams to heat the material which forms the coating;

    4. 4.

      Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight deposition.

      N.B.: This definition does not include random cathodic arc deposition with non-biased substrates.

  3. c.

    Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species to be deposited from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.

  4. d.

    Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture (a pack), that consists of:

    1. 1.

      The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminium, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);

    2. 2.

      An activator (normally a halide salt); and

    3. 3.

      An inert powder, most frequently alumina.

    The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to between 1,030 K (757°C) and 1,375 K (1,102°C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

  5. e.

    Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma spraying carried out underwater.

    1. 1.

      N.B.: Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure.

    2. 2.

      High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20°C) at 0.1 MPa.

  6. f.

    Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.

  7. g.

    Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately positioned substrate.

    1. 1.

      N.B.: The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used to permit vapourisation of non-metallic coating materials.

    2. 2.

      Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the deposition.

  8. h.

    Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputter deposition.

    NOTE: This item does not specify detonators using only primary explosives, such as lead azide.

Technical Note: The detonators of concern all utilise a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire or foil) that explosively vapourises when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive vapourisation of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by a magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in place of the word detonator.

Execution time ‘t’ is expressed in microseconds, TP and “CTP” are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops) and WL is expressed in bits.

Outline of the CTP calculation method

CTP is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the CTP of an aggregation of CEs the following three steps are required:

1.

Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each CE;

2.

Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each CE;

3.

If there is more than one CE, combine the TPs resulting in a CTP for the aggregation.

Details for these steps are given in the following sections.

  • Note 1: For aggregations of multiple CEs which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of CTP is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the group of CEs sharing memory, second calculate the CTP of the groups using the calculation method for multiple CEs not sharing memory.

  • Note 2: CEs that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g. disk drive, communication and video display controllers) are not aggregated into the CTP calculation.

The following table shows the method of calculating the effective calculating rate (R) for each CE:

Step 1: The effective calculating rate R

For CEs implementing

Note: Every CE must be evaluated independently

If neither add nor multiply is implemented use the fastest available arithmetic operation as follows:

See Notes X & Y

(R)

Calculate both

Rxp, Rfp

For simple logic processors not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations.

13*tlog

Where

  • tlog is the execute time of the XOR, or for logic hardware not implementing the XOR, the fastest simple logic operation.

See Notes X & Z

For special logic processors not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

R=R’*WL/64

Where

  • R’ is the number of results per second, WL is the number of bits upon which the logic operation occurs, and 64 is a factor to normalize to a 64 bit operation.

Note W:

For a pipelined CE capable of executing up to one arithmetic or logic operation every clock cycle after the pipeline is full, a pipelined rate can be established. The effective calculating rate (R) for such a CE is the faster of the pipelined rate or non-pipelined execution rate.

Note X:

For CEs which perform multiple operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle or two identical logic operations per cycle), the execution time t is given by:

t=cycle timethe number of identical arithmetic operations per machine cycle

CEs which perform different types of arithmetic or logic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple separate CEs performing simultaneously (e.g., a CE performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be treated as two CEs, the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one cycle).

If a single CE has both scalar function and vector function, use the shorter execution time value.

Note Y:

For the CE that does not implement FP add or FP multiply, but that performs FP divide:

Rfp=1tfpdivide

If the CE implements FP reciprocal but not FP add, FP multiply or FP divide, then

Rfp=1tfprecipsubr;ocal

If none of the specified instructions is implemented, the effective FP rate is 0.

Note Z:

In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more results from two or more operands.

  • Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths considering both pipelined operations (if supported), and non-pipelined operations using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:

    1. 1.

      Pipelined or register-to-register operations. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register-to-register operations are implemented, continue with (2).

    2. 2.

      The faster of register-to-memory or memory-to-register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with (3).

    3. 3.

      Memory-to-memory.

  • In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer.

Step 2: TP for each supported operand length WL

Adjust the effective rate R (or R') by the word length adjustment L as follows:

TP=R*L,

where

  • L

    (1/3 + WL/96)

Note:

The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different lengths, select the largest word length.)

The combination of a mantissa ALU and an exponent ALU of a floating point processor or unit is considered to be one CE with a Word Length (WL) equal to the number of bits in the data representation (typically 32 or 64) for purposes of the CTP calculation.

This adjustment is not applied to specialized logic processors which do not use XOR instructions. In this case TP = R.

Select the maximum resulting value of TP for:

  • Each XP-only CE (Rxp);

  • Each FP-only CE (Rfp);

  • Each combined FP and XP CE (R);

  • Each simple logic processor not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations; and

  • Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

Step 3: CTP for aggregations of CEs, including CPUs

For a CPU with a single CE,

CTP=TP

(for CEs performing both fixed and floating point operations

TP=max (TPfp,TPxp)

)

CTP for aggregations of multiple CEs operating simultaneously is calculated as follows:

Note 1:

For aggregations that do not allow all of the CEs to run simultaneously, the possible combination of CEs that provides the largest CTP should be used. The TP of each contributing CE is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the CTP of the combination is derived.

  • N.B. To determine the possible combinations of simultaneously operating CEs, generate an instruction sequence that initiates operations in multiple CEs, beginning with the slowest CE (the one needing the largest number of cycles to complete its operation) and ending with the fastest CE. At each cycle of the sequence, the combination of CEs that are in operation during that cycle is a possible combination. The instruction sequence must take into account all hardware and/or architectural constraints on overlapping operations.

Note 2:

A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple CEs.

Note 3:

Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4:

CTP values are not to be aggregated for CE combinations (inter) connected by local area networks, Wide Area Networks, Input/Output shared connections/devices, Input/Output controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by software.

Note 5:

CTP values must be aggregated for multiple CEs specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory,—or multiple memory/CE—combinations operating simultaneously utilising specially designed hardware.

This aggregation does not apply to assemblies described by entry 4A003d

CTP=TP1+C2*TP2++Cn*TPn,

where

  • the TPs are ordered by value, with TP1 being the highest, TP2 being the second highest,…, and TPn being the lowest. Ci is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between CEs, as follows:

For multiple CEs operating simultaneously and sharing memory:

C2=C3=C4==Cn=0.75

Note 1:

When the CTP calculated by the above method does not exceed 194 Mtops, the following formula may be used to calculate Ci:

Ci=0.75(m)1/2
(i=2,,n)

where

  • m

    number of CEs or groups of CEs sharing access.

provided:

1.

The TPi of each CE or group of CEs does not exceed 30 Mtops;

2.

The CEs or groups of CEs share access to main memory (excluding cache memory) over a single channel; and

3.

Only one CE or group of CEs can have use of the channel at any given time.

  • N.B. This does not apply to items controlled under Category 3.

Note 2:

CEs share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache memory, main memory, or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included.

For Multiple CEs or groups of CEs not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:

Ci=0.75*ki(i=2,,32)(see note below)=0.60*ki(i=33,,64)=0.45*ki(i=65,,256)=0.30*ki(i>256)

The value of Ci is based on the number of CEs, not the number of nodes.

where

  • ki

    min (Si/Kr, 1), and

  • Kr

    normalizing factor of 20 MByte/s

  • Si

    sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/s) for all data channels connected to the ihh CE or group of CEs sharing memory

When calculating a Ci for a group of CEs, the number of the first CE in a group determines the proper limits for Ci. For example, in an aggregation of groups consisting of 3 CEs each, the 22nd group will contain CE64, CE65 and CE66. The proper limit for Ci for this group is 0.60.

Aggregation (of CEs or groups of CEs) should be from fastest-to-slowest; i.e.:

TP1TP2TPn

, and

in the case of TPi = TPsubi;+1 from the largest to smallest; i.e.:

CiCi+1

Note:

The ki factor is not applied to CEs 2 to 12 if the TPi of the CE or group of CEs is more than 50 Mtops; i.e., Ci for CEs 2 to 12 is 0.75.

(This Note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement certain aspects of Council Regulation (EC) 3381/94 (“the EC Regulation”), which sets up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use goods, and related matters. The EC Regulation and these Regulations replace the export controls on such goods that were previously contained in the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994, as amended (“the Order”).

2.

The EC Regulation provides that a licence shall be required for the export from the Community of any dual-use goods listed in Annex I to Council Decision No. 94/942/CFSP on the Joint Action adopted by the Council on the basis of article J3 of the Treaty on European Union (“the Decision”) which is linked to the EC Regulation. The list of goods in Annex I is reproduced in Schedule 1 to these Regulations. A licence granted for the export of such goods is valid throughout the Community.

3.

The EC Regulation also provides that a licence is required for the export to another Member State of any dual-use goods listed in Annex IV to the Decision, which is derived from Annex I to the Decision. This list is reproduced in Schedule 2 to these Regulations. When granting licences the Secretary of State and other competent authorities shall take into account the guidelines for granting licences contained in Annex III to the Decision.

4.

Criminal sanctions for the export of such goods without a licence apply by virtue of sections 68 and 170 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979.

5.

Copies of the standards and recommendations referred to in Annex I to the Decision may be obtained from or through the British Standards Institution (BSI) at 3 Linford Wood, Milton Keynes, MK14 6LE, other than the ICAO and TCSEC standards mentioned at entries 5A001,5A002 and 6A008 which may be obtained from the ICAO at 10,000 Sherbrooke Street, Suite 400, Montreal, Canada H3A 2RZ, and the TCSEC Technical Guidelines Division, National Computer Center, FT George G Meade, MD 20755-6000, USA respectively.

6.

In addition, the EC Regulation provides that Member States may prohibit without a licence the export from their territory of dual-use goods not listed in Annex I to the Decision; individual Member States may also prohibit the export to another Member State of certain dual-use goods as indicated in Annex V to the Decision. The goods which are subject to such control from the United Kingdom are set out in Schedules 3 and 4 respectively to these Regulations. Goods whose export from the United Kingdom are prohibited may be liable to forfeiture and sections 138, 145-148 and 150-155 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 are applied.

7.

By way of assistance to the reader and for convenience only, certain defined terms in Schedules 1 and 3 have been highlighted in quotation marks. An Index to Schedules 1 and 3 and certain cross-references have been included. These should not be treated as comprehensive.

8.

The EC Regulation and these Regulations contain provisions requiring a licence where goods are to be exported for purposes connected with chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and missiles capable of delivering such weapons. These provisions are contained in Articles 4(1) and (2) of the EC Regulation and regulation 3(2)(a)(iii) and (iv) of these Regulations. Together they replace the provisions of Part II of Schedule 1 to the Order, which is revoked.

9.

The Regulations also:

(a)

provide that the Secretary of State may grant licences and Community Licences under or for the purposes of the EC Regulation in the United Kingdom and give notice for the purposes of Article 4 of the EC Regulation;

(b)

provide that in certain circumstances the export of goods may not be permitted, notwithstanding that a Community Licence has been granted in respect of them in another Member State, where the Secretary of State considers that the export would be contrary to the essential foreign policy or security interests or the fulfilment of the international obligations or commitments of the United Kingdom: and that, in pursuance of Article 10.3 of the EC Regulation, goods for which a Community Licence has been granted may in certain circumstances be detained by the proper officer of Customs and Excise for a period of ten working days;

(c)

set out control measures, in relation to any licence issued by the Secretary of State and any Community Licence capable of use in the United Kingdom, and for exports to other Member States, regarding

1.

the making of misleading licence applications;

2.

failure to comply with licence conditions;

3.

registration;

4.

record-keeping.

10.

The requirement to register with the DTI before, or soon after, exporting under an Open General Export Licence and to keep certain records for a specified period for inspection purposes has been extended to exporting under any licence under these Regulations: it also applies in respect of exports of any goods on Schedule 1 to another Member State. Records relating to applications for licences may also be inspected. In addition, Article 19(1)(a) of the EC Regulation requires goods on Schedule 1, when exported to another Member State, to be accompanied by commercial documentation which indicates clearly that the goods are subject to control if exported from the European Community.

11.

The Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994, as amended, remains in force insofar as it applies to the export of certain military and non-industrial goods, subject to certain further consequential amendments made by these Regulations. The goods whose export is now controlled by the EC Regulation and these Regulations are largely unchanged from those previously controlled in Groups 2 and 3 in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Order, subject to the following:—

(a)

the said Group 2 has been re-arranged and clarified, becoming Category 0 in Annex I to the Decision; and

(b)

export control is introduced on certain separation equipment included in entries 0B001 and 0B002.

12.

These Regulations do not affect any prohibition or restriction on the exportation of goods save as specified in these Regulations or the EC Regulation. There are a number of other such prohibitions and restrictions, particulars of which can be obtained on application to the Export Control Organisation, DTI, Kingsgate House, 66–74 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SW.
