ocon roIntroductionThis booklet is prepared for information and guidance to exporters. These lists reflect agreements reached inCOCOM on goods and technologies which should be controlled for strategic reasons. They do not, in this form,have the force of law, nor do they cover all goods which may be subject to export control. Legalprohibition on the export of goods subject to licensing by the Department of Trade and Industry is enforced underThe Export of Goods (Control) Order (1989), which also imposes control on the export of other goods. This Orderis available from Government Bookshops. Amendments to the Order (and consequently these lists) may be madefrom time to time and will be publicised in British Business.

What is COCOM?The Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Control. An informal non-treaty organisation of 16 countriesoperating according to the rule of unanimity. It comprises members of NATO, less Iceland plus Japan.

Which are the proscribed countries?Afghanistan, Albania, Bulgaria, People's Republic of China, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic,Hungary, Mongolia, North Korea, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Vietnam.

Why does the People's Republic ofChina receive different treabnent?COCOM agreed in 1985 to maintain a differential in the application of controls of strategic goods to the People'sRepublic of China, which reflected improved relations wilh COCOM countries.

How can you influence changes to the controls?COCOM reviews the lists on a regular rolling-review basis, covering all items at least once every four years. TheDepartment consults trade associations, other industry groups and individual companies with a known interest inforthcoming review items. If you wish to propose any changes and are not currently consulted on these matters,piease write to the Policy Unit (address on back cover).

Do you need a licence?The inclusion of goods in these lists does not mean necessarily a complete prohibition on their export, even to theproscribed countries. But it does mean that you require a licence before exporting them to any country. If you areuncertain whether you require a licence for your proposed export you should contact the Department's ExportControl Organisation, Sensitive Technologies Unit (STU) (Telephone Inquiries: see back cover). If a technicalrating is necessary, you must provide full supporting documentation, including a precise description of the goodsto be exported, complete technical specifications and, if the goods contain any computer or digital processingelement. a completed computer questionnaire. Technical Officers will then assess your goods against the Exportof Goods (Control) Order and provide a formal statement on their licensing status.

If you need a licenceYou should fully complete an 'Application for an export licence - form A' and send, together with full supporting .

documents, to the appropriate address on the back cover. Where the export involves a computer or digital pro­cessing element and the export is to a proscribed country, a completed computer questionnaire and blockdiagram of the complete computer system must be provided. (This applies to any equipment using micropro­cessor control. For a comprehensive description of the controls on computers and equipment containing them,see IL 1565, taking into account the definitions in Note 16 to that item).

Who do you apply to?Where the export is for goods and technologies on the Industrial List to a proscribed country (ie. Afghanistan,Albania, Bulgaria, People's Republic of China, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary,Mongolia, North Korea, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Vietnam) applications and inquiries should be addressedto: Cocom Licensing Unit, Room 640 Kingsgate House, 66-74 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SW (Telephone In­quiries: see back cover).

Applications for export licences for goods on the Industrial List to other (non-proscribed countries and for goodsand technologies on the Munitions and Atomic Energy Lists to any country and related inquiries should be ad­dressed to: Export Licensing Unit, Room 501, Kingsgate House, 66-74 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SW(Telephone Inquiries: see back cover).

Export to the proscribed countriesIt is the general policy of Her Majesty's Government to consult its COCOM partners before deciding whether toissue a licence for the export of controlled goods to a proscribed country. However, for administrative reasons,there are some controlled goods where this is not done. This procedure is called 'National Discretion' and goodsthat are agreed as suitable for such treatment are indicated in this booklet by coloured printing on a whitebackground. National Discretion or Favourable Consideration notes which apply only for exports to the People'sRepublic of China are in black print on a colour-tinted background.

The treabnent of technologyIn the case of the proscribed destinations a licence is necessary for the export of technical data, and any othertangible technology applicable to the design, production and use of items as defined in these lists. This appliesequally to technology specific to the integration or use of components in items defined in these lists, even whenthe components are themselves unembargoed.

The above does not apply to that technology which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation,maintenance (checking) and repair of products whose export has been authorised.

Export for exhibitions etcProcedures exist for the treatment of applications to export goods temporarily for exhibitions and demonstrationpurposes, where any export licences issued will be subject to certain conditions. For further information contacteither Export Licensing Unit or Cocom Licensing Unit (see back cover) depending on the country concerned. Inall cases applications should be submitted on an 'Application for export licence - form A' and as far in advance ofshipment as practicable.

United States re-export controlsExporters should be aware that the United States Authorities claim control over many exports from other coun­tries, including the United Kingdom, where the goods are of US origin, include components of US origin, or wereproduced using US-origin technology. In such cases, under US export regulations, a US- re-export licence is re­quired whether or not a UK export licence is needed or has been granted.

Although such US regulations are not valid in UK law the US authorities commonly penalise foreign companieswhich do not comply, by denying them access to US goods or technology in the future. Where a company has apresence in the US, legal action may lead to the imposition of fines and other penalties.

Exporters should note that the US regulations changed in 1988. UK exporters seeking guidance on licensableitems or restricted countries under US regulations should contact the Commercial Section, US Embassy, 24Grosvenor Square, London W1A lEA (tel 01-499 9000 ext 2433). Copies of the US Export Administration Regula­tions are available for reference at the Embassy, and a summary of the regulations and licence application formsmay be obtained from the Embassy or from the Office of Export Administration, US Department of Commerce,Washington DC 20230.

Applications for re-export licences may be made direct to the US Department of Commerce; alternatively UKexporters may prefer to contact their US supplie~s who should be able to advise whether a licence is requiredunder US law and, if so, whether or not they can apply for such a licence on behalf of their UK principals.

There are additional US licensing requirements for defence equipment of US origin and these are administeredby the Office of Munitions Controls, US Department of State, 22nd and C Streets, NW Washington DC 20521. In­quiries can also be made at the US Embassy in London.

British companies requiring general advice on US export controls or experiencing difficulties with US regula­tions should contact the DTI, OT2/1B, Room 576, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H OET (tel 01-2154611).

TECHNICAL NOTES:1 "Numerical control" is defined as the "automatic control of a

process performed by a device that makes use of numericdata usually introduced as the operation is in progress" (Ref.ISO 2382).

2 "Contouring control" is defined as: "two or more numericallycontrolled motions operating in accordance with instructionsthat specify the next required position and the required feedrates to that position. These feed rates are varied in relationto each other so that a desired contour is generated" (ReI.ISO/DIS 2806).

3 For computer-related terms, see Item IL 1565 or IL 1566.4 A "direct numerical control system" (ONC) is defined as "a

system connecting a set of numerical~y controlled machinesto a common memory for part programme or machine pro­gramme storage with provision for on-demand distribution ofdata to the machines" (Ref. ISO/DIS 2806.2).

pulsating, controlled nucleation thermal decomposition(CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted processes.

2 "Pack" denotes a substrate immersed in a powdermixture.

3 The gaseous material utilized in the out-of-"pack"process is produced using the same basic reactions andparameters as the "pack cementation" process, exceptthat the substrate to be coated is not in contact with thepowder mixture.

(b) "Electron-Beam Physical Vapour Deposition" (EB-PVD) is anoverlay coating process conducted in a vacuum chamber,wherein an electron beam is directed onto the surface of acoating material causing vapourization of the material andresulting in condensation of the resultant vapours onto asubstrate positioned appropriately.

NB:The addition of gases to the chamber during the processing isan ordinary modification to the process.

(c) "Electrophoreti~ Deposition" is a surface modification coatingor overlay coating process in which finely divided particles ofa coating material suspended in a liquid dielectric mediummigrate under the influence of an electrostatic field and aredeposited on an electrically conducting substrate.

NB:Heat treatment of parts after coating materials have beendeposited on the substrate, in order to obtain the desiredcoating, is an essential step in the process.

(d) "Pack Cementation" is a surface modification coating oroverlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in apowder mixture, a so-called "pack", that consists of:(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.The substrate and powder mixture is contained within aretort which is heated to between 1030 K to 1375 K forsufficient time to deposit the coating.

(e) "Plasma Spraying" is an overlay coating process wherein agun (spray torch), which produces and controls a plasma,accepts powdered coating materials, melts them and propelsthem towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bondedcoating is formed.

NB:1 High velocity means more than 750 metres per second.2 Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric

pressure.(f) "Slurry Deposition" is a surface modification coating or

overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramicpowder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and isapplied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting;subsequently air or oven dried, and heat treated to obtain thedesired coating.

(g) "Sputtering" is an overlay coating process wherein positivelycharged ions are accelerated by an electric field towards thesurface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy ofthe impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atomsto be released and deposited on the substrate.

NB:Triode, magnetron or radio frequency sputtering to increaseadhesion of coating and rate of deposition are ordinary modi­fications to the process.

(h) "Ion implantation" is a surface modification coating processin which the element to be alloyed is ionized, acceleratedthrough a potential gradient and implanted into the surfaceregion of the substrate. The definition includes processes inwhich the source of the ions is a plasma surrounding the

Page 23: CoCom Lists - 1989

(i)

substrate and processes in which ion implantation isperformed simultaneously with "electron beam physicalvapour deposition" or "sputtering"."Cathodic arc deposition" employs a cathode which is con­sumable and has an arc discharge established on the surfaceby a momentary contact of ground trigger. Arc spots formand begin to erode randomly but uniformly the cathodesurface creating a highly ionised plasma. The anode can beeither a cone attached to the periphery of the cathodethrough an insulator or the chamber can be used as an anode.Substrates appropriately positioned receive deposits from theionised plasma. Substrate biasing is used for non-Iine-of-sightdeposition. A gas can be introduced in the vicinity of thesubstrate surface in order to react during deposition tosynthesise compound coatings.

TECHNICAL NOTES:1. "Spread spectrum" is defined as the tec~ni~ue whereb.y

energy in a relatively narrow-band communication channel ISspread over a much wider energy spectrum under the controlof a random or pseudo-random bit stream. On receipt, thesignal is correlated with the same bit str~am to ~chiev.e .thereverse process of reducing the bandWidth to ItS ?nglnalform. By allocating different bit streams to differentsubscribers transmitting simultaneously, significantly greateruse can be made of available bandwidth.

2. "Frequency agility" (or frequency hopping) is another form of"spread spectrum" in which the transmission frequen~y of asingle communication channel is made to change by discretesteps under the control of a similar bit stream.

TECHNICAL NOTES:1. "Comb frequency generators" (sub-item (b) (2)) are generally

understood to be devices which generate a spectrum ofharmonics.

2. "Swept-frequency network analyzers" as understood in sub­item (b) (3) (i) above involve the automatic measurement ofequivalent circuit parameters over a range of frequencies.This involves swept-frequency measurement techniques butnot CW point-to-point measurements.

3. "Amplitude and phase receivers" (sub-item (b) (3) (ii)) areinstruments capable of measuring the amplitude of amicrowave signal or the amplitude of two microwave signalsand the relative phase between them. The principalapplication of these instruments is the measurement of nearand far zone phase and amplitude antenna patterns. They canalso be used for measurement of microwave device andcomponents characteristics. In general, they are moresophisticated and sensitive (better than -100 dBm) thanphase and impedance measuring instruments such as RFvector impedance meters and vector voltmeters. They alsofeature wide dynamic range (80 dB) and very good linearity(approximately ±. 0.25 dB).

4. "Frequency (heterodyne) converters" (sub-item (b) (3) (iii))down convert an unknown frequency by mixing with anaccurately known frequency. The accurately knownfrequency is developed by multiplication of a crystal-derivedreference which is passed through a harmonic generator. Bymixing the appropriate harmonic and the unknownfrequencies, an accurate third frequency results.

5. "Transfer oscillators" (sub-item (b) (3) (iii)) are based also onthe property of harmonic mixing. Differences exist in that alocal oscillator is utilized whereas a crystal-derived referencefrequency is utilized in the case described in Note 4 above.The unknown frequency is mixed with the local oscillator(LO) and the two are phase-locked by tuning the LO. The LOcan then be measured by a counter.

6. "User-accessible programmability" as used in sub-items (b) (4)and (b) (5) above is meant defined as the facility allowing auser to insert, modify or replace "programmes" by meansother than:(a) A physical change in wiring or interconnections; or(b) The setting of function controls including entry of

parameters.7. "Burst frequency measurement" counters (sub-item (c) (3))

contain special gating circuits which start only when the inputsignal is present and stop counting at the completion of theburst.

8. "Pulse frequency profiling" is the capability of measuring thechanges of frequency (or phase) within a pulse as a function oftime; such changes in frequency would be present in a

transmitted pulse-eompression radar pulse ('chirp radar'). Thisprofiling may be achieved by internal or external gating."Pulse frequency profiling" is not intended to include'frequency modulation tolerance' while it is being frequencymodulated and is of interest to the communication field. Theability to perform measurement of the time interval of thepulse itself (pulse width) as opposed to frequencymeasurements within a pulse is covered under time intervalinstruments in sub-item (d) above.

"terminal exchange" -(a) A local exchange used for terminating subscribers' li~es;(b) A remote switching unit which performs some functions

of a local exchange and operates under a measure ofcontrol from the parent exchange;

(c) A local exchange, typically 2-wire, used as a switchingpoint for traffic between subordinate local exchanges,which may also provide 4-wire connections to and fromthe national long-distance network; or

(d) An exchange which performs any combination offunctions in (a), (b) or (c) above.

"time-division analogue exchange" -A "time-division exchange" in which the parameter,associated with an individual segment of a stream of data orvoice signals, varies continuously.

"time-division digital exchange"-A "time-division exchange" in which the parameter,associated with an individual segment of a stream of data orvoice signals, is one of a finite number of digitally codedvalues.

"time-division exchange" -An exchange in which segments of different streams of dataor voice signals are interleaved in time and routed throughthe switching matrix along a common physical path. Thematrix may also include one or more stages of space-divisionswitching. The signal being routed through the matrix can beanalogue (e.g. pulse amplitude modulation) or digital (e.g.pulse code modulation, delta modulation or data).

"total data signalling rate" - .The sum of the individual "data signalling rates" of all"communication channels" which:(a) Have been provided with the system; and(b) Can be sustained simult~neously assuming the

configuration of the equipment which would maximizethis sum of rates.

"transit exchange" -(a) An exchange, typically 4-wire, used as a switching point

for traffic between other exchanges in the nationalnetwork (historically known as a 'trunk exchange');

(b) A 4-wire exchange serving outgoing, incoming or transitinternational calls; or

(c) An exchange which performs any combination offunctions in (a) or (b) above or those of a "terminalexchange".

"trunk circuit" -A circuit with associated equipments terminating in twoexchanges.

"trunk exchange" -See "transit exchange".

"wide area network" -A data communication system which:(a) Allows an arbitrary number of independent "data

Goods described can be licenced at nationaldiscretion for export to the proscribedcountries.

COLOUREDTYPE

NB:A "space-division digital exchange" can be converted to a"space division analogue exchange" by modifying some or allof the input interface circuitry.

"space-division exchange" - .An exchange in which different streams of data or vOicesignals are routed through the switching matrix alongphysically different paths. The signal being routed throughthe matrix can be analogue (e.g. conventional amplitudemodulation, pulse amplitude modulation) or digital (e.g. pulsecode modulation, delta modulation or data).

"specially designed software" -The minimum "operating systems", diagnostic systems","maintenance systems" and "application software" necessaryto be executed on a particular equipment to perform thefunction for which it was designed. To make other,incompatible equipment perform the same function requires:(a) Modification of this "software"; or(b) Addition of "programmes".

"stored programme controlled circuit switching" -The technique for establishing, on demand and until released,a direct (space-division switching) or logical (time-divisionswitching) connection between circuits based on switchingcontrol information derived from any source or circuit andprocessed according to the stored "programme" by one ormore electronic computers.

"stored programme controlled telegraph circuit switching" ­Techniques essentially identical to those for "stored­programme-controlled telephone circuit switching", forestablishing connections between telegraph (e.g. telex)
