# Commission Regulation (EU) No 717/2010 of 6 August 2010 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature, Annex

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Description of the goods
Classification(CN code)
Reasons
(1)
(2)
(3)
A product (so-called ‘exhaust gas temperature sensor’) consisting of:
a thermistor with a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 W, in its own housing,
a fixing bolt,
a shaft facilitating fixation inside a vehicle’s exhaust system, and
an electrical cable, with a heat resistant sleeve, which connects the product to a plug and which, in turn, enables connection to the vehicle’s engine management system.
Depending on the temperature, the thermistor changes its resistance. When connected, this change of resistance produces a change of electrical current, which is transmitted to the engine management system.
The product cannot convert the electrical current output into a temperature measurement or display the temperature.
8533 40 10
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8533, 8533 40 and 8533 40 10.
Classification under heading 9025 as a thermometer or as a part thereof is excluded as the product cannot measure nor display temperature.
The product is a non-linear resistor depending on temperature (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8533 (A)(5)) and therefore is to be classified under subheading 8533 40 as other variable resistors.
