135. The SCOMET entry 8D902 shall be substituted as follows:
'8D902 "Software", not specified in 8D903 or 8D904, specially designed or modified for the "production" of equipment specified by 8A9 or 8B9.'
136. The SCOMET entry 8D904.b shall be substituted as follows:
'8D904.b "Software" for testing aero gas turbine engines, assemblies or components, having all of the following:-
1. Specially designed for testing any of the following:-
a. Aero gas turbine engines, assemblies or components, incorporating "technology" specified by 8E903.a, 8E903.h or 8E903.i; or
b. Multi-stage compressors providing either bypass or core flow, specially designed for aero gas turbine engines incorporating "technology" specified by 8E903.a or 8E903.h; and
2. Specially designed for all of the following:-
a. Acquisition and processing of data, in real time; and
b. Feedback control of the test article or test conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate) while the test is in progress;
Note: 8D904.6 does not specify software for operation of the test facility or
operator safety (e.g., overspeed shutdown, fire detection and suppression), or production, repair or maintenance acceptance-testing limited to determining if the item has been properly assembled or repaired.
137. In the SCOMET entry 8E903.a.2, the existing Technical Note 2 shall be substituted as follows:
2. 'Combustor exit temperature' is the bulk average gas path total (stagnation) temperature between the combustor exit plane and the leading edge of the turbine inlet guide vane (i.e., measured at engine station T40 as defined in SAE ARP 755A) when the engine is running in a "steady state mode" of operation at the certificated maximum continuous operating temperature. '
138. In SCOMET 8E903.a.5 the existing Technical Note 2 shall be deleted. The existing Technical Note 1 shall read as Technical Note.
139. In SCOMET 8E903.C, the existing Technical Note 4 shall be substituted as follows:
4. Methods for manufacturing holes in 8E903.C include "laser" beam machining, water jet machining, Electro-Chemical Machining (ECM) or Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). '
Effect of this Notification:-
Appendix 3 (SCOMET items) to Schedule - 2 of ITC (HS) Classification of Export and Import Items, 2018 has been amended.
