Certified gas turbine engines for civil aircraft (controls are lifted), civil aircraft (see Category 9). 3 Export controls are extended to— (a) certain dual use goods for nuclear facilities and technology relating to them: those entries in Group 3 with numbers having a`2' in the third position e.g., 1C216 to all destinations (b) the following human and animal pathogens and chemical plant and biological equipment and technology relating to them to all destinations: entries in Group 3 numbered 1C351, 1C352, 1C353, 2B350, 2B351, 2B352, 1E001, 2E001 and 2E002. 4 (a) Compared to the list in Schedule 1 Part II of the EGCO 1991, the format and classification system for entries in the new lists has been changed. These changes are intended, where possible, to place controls on similar goods close to one another in the lists, and to enable changes to be made to the lists easily in future. (b) In the new lists goods are now specified by reference to a Category, sub—Category, Entry, head or sub—head. An example from the controls to illustrate this is 3A001a.4., where 3 is the Category, A is the sub—Category, 001 is the entry, a. is the head and 4 is the sub—head. (c) The PL entries from the EGCO 1991 have been moved, in some cases with modification, as follows: From To PL5003—Machine gun mountings ML1 PL5005—Refuelling/disruption apparatus PL5006 3A990 PL5009—Explosives and propellants ML8 1C115 1C991 1C239 3A232 PL5019—Radomes ML4 PL5024—Electrical pulsers 3A229 PL5026—Quartz crystals for ML4 ML4 PL6001—Thorium A10 PL6002—Fluorine 1C990 PL6003—Chlorine trifluoride 1C238 PL6005—Calcium 1C227 PL6006—Magnesium alloys Deleted PL6007—Gas centrifuge manufacture equipment 1B201 2B204 2B215 2B228 2B229 PL6008—Mass spectrometers3A233 PL6009—Pressure gauges, corrosion resistant 2B230 PL6010—Process control equipment for irradiated lithium 1B231 PL6011—Graphite A50 PL6012—Deuterium compounds A40 PL6013—Blowers and compressors UF6 corrosion resistant B10 PL6014—Fluorinated hydrocarbon polymer powders, UF6 resistant A70 PL6015—UF6 handling equipment B20 PL6016—Reprocessing plant equipment B70 PL7001—Aluminium alloys 1C202a.

However, the changes have included moving certain of those controls into the Categories of Group 3 of the new list as follows: Category 1 IL1310 IL1357 IL1561 IL1610 IL1631 IL1672 IL1675 IL1710 IL1733 IL1746 IL1754 IL1763 Category 2 IL1001 IL1088 IL1091 IL1099 IL1312 IL1362 IL1370 IL1371 IL1388 IL1389 IL1391 Category 3 IL1205 IL1355 IL1529 IL1531 IL1533 IL1537 IL1558 IL1560 IL1564 IL1568 IL1572 IL1586 IL1757 Category 4 IL1565 IL1566 Category 5 IL1353 IL1502 IL1516 IL1517 IL1519 IL1520 IL1522 IL1526 IL1527 IL1529 IL1531 IL1533 IL1537 IL1565 IL1566 IL1567 Category 6 IL1353 IL1370 IL1389 IL1501 IL1502 IL1510 IL1522 IL1526 IL1548 IL1555 IL1556 IL1571 IL1574 IL1585 IL1595 IL1757 IL1767 Category 7 IL1485 IL1501 Category 8 IL1319 IL1363 IL1416 IL1417 IL1418 IL1759 Category 9 IL1080 IL1086 IL1361 IL1362 IL1401 IL1431 IL1460 (e) Group 2 of the new list has been renumbered and its contents restricted principally to items specially designed for use in the nuclear industry. Most nuclear items that have other uses are included in Group 3 of the new list as dual use industrial items. 5 The controls on the export of firearms (see Article 3) have been changed as a result of the Firearms Acts (Amendment) Regulations 1992 (1992/2823) and to implement Council Directive 91/477/EEC. 6 Persons who export under an Open General export Licence henceforth will, unless the licence states to the contrary, be required to register with the DTI before, or soon after doing so (see Article 8), and to keep records for a specified period. 7 Copies of the standards and recommendations referred to in this Order 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 5A001f., 5A002 and 6A008f., which may be obtained from the ICAO at 1000 Sherbrooke Street, Suite 400, Montreal, Canada H3A 2RZ, and the TCSEC, Technical Guidelines Division, National Computer Security Center, Ft. George G. Meade MD 20755–6000, U.S.A, respectively. 8 By way of assistance to the reader, and for convenience only, certain defined terms have been highlighted in Part III of Schedule 1 in bold type, and an index thereto, technical notes and certain cross—references have been included. These should not be treated as comprehensive. 9 Any particular goods may fall within more than one description in Schedule 1 to the Order. In such a case each prohibition (taking effect by such inclusion in that Schedule and the related provisions of article 2) applies to the export of the goods. This may mean that different entries prohibit the export of the goods to different countries. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/3092 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/export-of-goods-control-order-1992 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
