# Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items (Recast), Division [9A010]: Specially designed components, systems and structures, for launch vehicles, launch vehicle propulsion systems or "spacecraft", as follows:


NB:
SEE ALSO 1A002 AND 9A110.
a..Components and structures, each exceeding 10 kg and specially designed for launch vehicles manufactured using any of the following:
1.."Composite" materials consisting of "fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010.e. and resins specified in 1C008 or 1C009.b.;
2..Metal "matrix""composites" reinforced by any of the following:
a..Materials specified in 1C007;
b.."Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010; or
c..Aluminides specified in 1C002.a.; or
3..Ceramic "matrix""composite" materials specified in 1C007;
Note:
The weight cut-off is not relevant for nose cones.
b..Components and structures, specially designed for launch vehicle propulsion systems specified in 9A005 to 9A009 manufactured using any of the following:
1.."Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010.e. and resins specified in 1C008 or 1C009.b.;
2..Metal "matrix""composites" reinforced by any of the following:
a..Materials specified in 1C007;
b.."Fibrous or filamentary materials" specified in 1C010; or
c..Aluminides specified in 1C002.a.; or
3..Ceramic "matrix""composite" materials specified in 1C007;
c..Structural components and isolation systems, specially designed to control actively the dynamic response or distortion of "spacecraft" structures;
d..Pulsed liquid rocket engines with thrust-to-weight ratios equal to or more than 1 kN/kg and a ‘response time’ of less than 30 ms.
Technical Note:
For the purposes of 9A010.d., ‘response time’ is the time required to achieve 90 % of total rated thrust from start-up.
