controlled flight and navigation without any human presence on board.

1C Export
of Chemicals as specified below is allowed to State Parties to the CWC without an
export licence subject to the condition that the exporter shall notify within
30 days of export to the National Authority, Chemicals Weapons Convention,
Cabinet Secretariat; the Ministry of External Affairs (D&ISA); the
Department of Chemicals & Petro-chemicals, and the DGFT of such exports in
the prescribed format (Aayat Niryat Form ) along with the End-Use Certificate
and submit to the DGFT a copy of the bill of entry into the destination State
Party within 30 days of delivery. Export of chemicals as specified below to
states not party to the Chemical Weapons Convention shall continue to be

for the model (Âx, Ây...);
5. Since Item 4A002 refers to each linear axis,
there will be as many stated positioning accuracy values as there are linear axes;
6. If any axis of a machine tool not controlled
by Items 4A002a, 4A002b, or 4A002c has a stated positioning accuracy of 6 µm or
better (less) for grinding machines, and 8 µm or better (less) for milling and

the integral of i with respect to t, over the lesser of 1 µs or the time
duration of the beam pulse ( Q=∫idt ) where i is beam current in amperes
and t is the time in seconds.
2. Peak power = (peak potential in volts) x (peak beam current in
amperes).
3. In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the time
duration of the beam pulse is the lesser of 1 µs or the duration of the bunched
beam packet resulting from one microwave modulator pulse.
4. In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the peak
beam current is the average current in the time duration of a bunched beam
packet.

Technical Note: In Item 4B008 the detonators of concern all utilize a
small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire, or foil) that explosively vaporizes
when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper
types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting
high-explosive material such as PETN (pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper
detonators, the explosive vaporization of the electrical conductor drives a
flyer or slapper across a gap, and the impact of the slapper on an explosive
starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by magnetic
force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a
slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in place of
the word detonator.
