(1B) This subsection is satisfied if the total quantity of tritium divided by 10 9, plus the total quantity of promethium 147 divided by 10 7, plus the total quantity of radium 226 divided by 10 4, in all such clocks and watches does not exceed 1 (quantity in each case measured in becquerels).
(1C)This subsection is satisfied if—
(a)all such clocks and watches fall within a description specified in the first column of the table below,
