THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 requires dual-use items to be subject to effective control when they are exported from or transit through the Union, or are delivered to a third country as a result of brokering services provided by a broker resident or established in the Union.
(2) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establishes the common list of dual-use items that are subject to controls in the Union. Decisions on the items subject to controls are taken within the framework of the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Wassenaar Arrangement and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
(3) The list of dual-use items set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 needs to be updated regularly so as to ensure full compliance with international security obligations, to guarantee transparency, and to maintain the competitiveness of exporters. In order to facilitate references for export control authorities and operators, an updated and consolidated version of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should be published.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 empowers the Commission to update the list of dual-use items set out in Annex I by means of delegated acts, in conformity with the relevant obligations and commitments, and any modifications thereto, that Member States have accepted as members of the international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements, or by ratification of relevant international treaties.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 22 October 2014. For the Commission The President José Manuel Barroso

ANNEX I List referred to in Article 3 of this Regulation
LIST OF DUAL-USE ITEMS
This list implements internationally agreed dual-use controls including the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG), the Australia Group and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
GENERAL NOTES TO ANNEX I 1.2.3.4.
For control of goods which are designed or modified for military use, see the relevant list(s) of controls on military goods maintained by individual Member States. References in this Annex that state SEE ALSO MILITARY GOODS CONTROLS refer to the same lists. The object of the controls contained in this Annex should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods (including plant) containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes. N.B.: In judging whether the controlled component or components are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured. Goods specified in this Annex include both new and used goods. In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.
NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY NOTE (NTN)
(To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0.) The technology directly associated with any goods controlled in Category 0 is controlled according to the provisions of Category 0. Technology for the development, production or use of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods. The approval of goods for export also authorizes the export to the same end-user of the minimum technology required for the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the goods. Controls on technology transfer do not apply to information in the public domain or to basic scientific research.
GENERAL TECHNOLOGY NOTE (GTN)
(To be read in conjunction with section E of Categories 1 to 9.) The export of technology which is required for the development, production or use of goods controlled in Categories 1 to 9, is controlled according to the provisions of Categories 1 to 9. Technology required for the development, production or use of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods. Controls do not apply to that technology which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those goods which are not controlled or whose export has been authorised. N.B.: This does not release such technology specified in 1E002.e., 1E002.f., 8E002.a. and 8E002.b. Controls on technology transfer do not apply to information in the public domain, to basic scientific research or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.
GENERAL SOFTWARE NOTE (GSN)
(This note overrides any control within section D of Categories 0 to 9.) Categories 0 to 9 of this list do not control software which is any of the following:
a.
Generally available to the public by being: N.B.: Entry a. of the General Software Note does not release software specified in Category 5 — Part 2 (Information Security).
1. Sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, by means of:
1. a.
Over-the-counter transactions;
b.
Mail order transactions;
c.
Electronic transactions; or
d.
Telephone call transactions; and
2. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier;
b.
In the public domain; or
c.
The minimum necessary object code for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items whose export has been authorised. N.B.: Entry c. of the General Software Note does not release software specified in Category 5 — Part 2 (Information Security).

TABLE — DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES — TECHNICAL NOTE
Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:
a.
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, composite, dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate. Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or laser irradiation. N.B. 1: CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal deposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes. N.B. 2: Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture. N.B. 3: The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.
b.
Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less than 0,1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned substrates. The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary modification of the process. The use of ion or electron beams, or plasma, to activate or assist the coating’s deposition is also a common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes. Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:
1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the material which forms the coating;
2. Ion Assisted Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating sources in combination with impinging ion beam(s) to produce a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;
3. Laser Vaporization uses either pulsed or continuous wave laser beams to vaporize the material which forms the coating;
4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight deposition. N.B.: This definition does not include random cathodic arc deposition with non-biased substrates.
5. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.
c.
Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture (a pack), that consists of: The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to between 1030 K (757 °C) and 1375 K (1102 °C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.
1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminium, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);
2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and
3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina.
d.
Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma spraying. N.B. 1: Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure. N.B. 2: High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20 °C) at 0,1 MPa.
e.
Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.
f.
Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately positioned substrate. N.B. 1: The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used to permit vaporisation of non-metallic coating materials. N.B. 2: Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the deposition.
g.
Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputter deposition.

3A001 a. Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC) integrated circuits, as follows: A resolution of n bit corresponds to a quantisation of 2n levels. The number of bits in the output word is equal to the resolution of the ADC. The output rate is the maximum output rate of the converter, regardless of the architecture or oversampling. For multiple channel ADCs, the outputs are not aggregated and the output rate is the maximum output rate of any single channel. For interleaved ADCs or for multiple channel ADCs that are specified to have an interleaved mode of operation, the outputs are aggregated and the output rate is the maximum combined total output rate of all of the outputs. Vendors may also refer to the output rate as sampling rate, conversion rate or throughput rate. It is often specified in megahertz (MHz) or mega samples per second (MSPS). For the purpose of measuring output rate, one output word per second is equivalent to one Hertz or one sample per second. Multiple channel ADCs are defined as devices which integrate more than one ADC, designed so that each ADC has a separate analogue input. Interleaved ADCs are defined as devices which have multiple ADC units that sample the same analogue input at different times such that when the outputs are aggregated, the analogue input has been effectively sampled and converted at a higher sampling rate. Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of the carrier frequency (maximum signal component) at the input of the DAC to the RMS value of the next largest noise or harmonic distortion component at its output. SFDR is determined directly from the specification table or from the characterisation plots of SFDR versus frequency. A signal is defined to be full scale when its amplitude is greater than - 3 dBfs (full scale). Adjusted update rate for DACs:

TECHNICAL NOTE ON ADJUSTED PEAK PERFORMANCE (APP)
APP is an adjusted peak rate at which digital computers perform 64-bit or larger floating point additions and multiplications. APP is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 1012 adjusted floating point operations per second
Abbreviations used in this Technical Note
n number of processors in the digital computer i processor number (i,…n) ti processor cycle time (ti = 1/Fi) Fi processor frequency Ri peak floating point calculating rate Wi architecture adjustment factor
Outline of APP calculation method 1.2.3.4. Technical Note:
For each processor i, determine the peak number of 64-bit or larger floating point operations, FPOi, performed per cycle for each processor in the digital computer. Note: In determining FPO, include only 64-bit or larger floating point additions and/or multiplications. All floating point operations must be expressed in operations per processor cycle; operations requiring multiple cycles may be expressed in fractional results per cycle. For processors not capable of performing calculations on floating point operands of 64-bit or more, the effective calculating rate R is zero. Calculate the floating point rate R for each processor Ri = FPOi/ti. Calculate APP as APP = W1 × R1 + W2 × R2 + … + Wn × Rn. For vector processors, Wi = 0,9. For non-vector processors, Wi = 0,3. Note 1: For processors that perform compound operations in a cycle, such as addition and multiplication, each operation is counted. Note 2: For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate R is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or the non-pipelined rate. Note 3: The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the APP of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer. Note 4: Do not include processors that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video display) when calculating APP. Note 5: APP values are not to be calculated for processor combinations (inter)connected by Local Area Networks, Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by software. Note 6: APP values must be calculated for: Aggregate all processors and accelerators operating simultaneously and located on the same die. Note 7: A vector processor is defined as a processor with built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on floating-point vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units and at least 8 vector registers of at least 64 elements each.
