(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes and replaces the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1991 (the “EGCO 1991”) and the amendments thereto. The changes (apart from minor drafting changes) it effects are as follows:—
1.
| 1C352 | 1C353 | 1C990 | 1C991 | 2B352 | 3A990 | 3E990 |
| 5A990 | 5E990 | 8A990 | 8A991 | 8E990 | 8E991 | 9A990 |
| 9A991 | 9A992 | 9E990 | 9E991 | 9E992. |
2. Export control is relaxed in relation to certain dual use goods as follows:
Ceramic base materials, fluorinated compounds and non—fluorinated polymeric components (see Category 1 of Group 3 of Schedule 1) (“Group 3”).
Some machine tools, inspection machines, robots and bearings (see Category 2).
DRAM’s (controls are lifted), many electronic components, some vacuum tubes, basic materials and semiconductor manufacturing equipment (see Category 3).
Many types of computers and peripherals (see Category 4).
Digital cellular telephone systems, data packet switches and multimode optical fibre systems (controls are lifted) (see Category 5).
Some sensors and lenses (see Category 6).
Some submersibles, hovercraft, pumpjet systems, underwater TV systems and some manipulators (see Category 8).
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.

(d)The structure of the new lists combined with the lifting of controls on many goods means that it is not practical to correlate and note all the controls with prefix IL in the EGCO 1991 list with the new lists. 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 | ||

| 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.
