    ‘ “Fibrous or filamentary materials” or prepregs, as follows:

    1. a..

      Carbon or aramid “fibrous or filamentary materials” having either of the following characteristics:

      1. 1..

        A “specific modulus” exceeding 10 × 106 m; or

      2. 2..

        A “specific tensile strength” exceeding 17 × 104 m;

    2. b..

      Glass “fibrous or filamentary materials” having either of the following characteristics:

    3. c..

      Thermoset resin-impregnated continuous “yarns”, “rovings”, “tows” or “tapes” with a width of 15 mm or less (once prepregs), made from carbon or glass “fibrous or filamentary materials” other than those specified in IA.A1.010.a. or b.

    Note: This item does not cover “fibrous or filamentary materials” defined in items 1C010.a, 1C010.b, 1C210.a and 1C210.b.’

  2. 2))

    The description in entry IA.A1.010 is replaced by the following:

    ‘Resin-impregnated or pitch-impregnated fibres (prepregs), metal or carboncoated fibres (preforms) or “carbon fibre preforms”, as follows:

    1. a..

      Made from “fibrous or filamentary materials” specified in IA.A1.009 above;

    2. b..

      Epoxy resin “matrix” impregnated carbon “fibrous or filamentary materials” (prepregs), specified in 1C010.a, 1C010.b or 1C010.c, for the repair of aircraft structures or laminates, of which the size of individual sheets does not exceed 50 cm × 90 cm;

    3. c..

      Prepregs specified in 1C010.a, 1C010.b or 1C010.c, when impregnated with phenolic or epoxy resins having a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 433 K (160 °C) and a cure temperature lower than the glass transition temperature.

    Note: This item does not cover “fibrous or filamentary materials” defined in item 1C010.e.’
