This Order revokes and replaces the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1985 and the subsequent amendments thereto. The changes (apart from minor and drafting changes) it effects are as follows–
1. Export control is–
(a)lifted on fluorotantalates
(b)reduced in scope on airborne, ground and marine navigation equipment, industrial transmitter and amplifier equipment, industrial telemetry and facsimile equipment, gyrotron electromagnets, magnetic materials, high-tensile aluminium alloys, fibrous and filamentary materials, electronic components.
(c)extended in scope on ballistic protection materials, plutonium, nuclear reprocessing equipment, tritium production equipment, submersible systems, deep submergence vehicles, diode waveguide components, microwave antennae, electronic integrated circuits, polymeric materials.
(d)amended in scope on deuterium, electronic measuring instruments, signal analysers, electronic components, polymeric materials, fluorocarbon compounds, compounds used in the synthesis of ultrafine polycrystalline silicon, resist material, certain ultra-pure metallo-organic and hydride compounds.
(e)introduced on neptunium, nuclear separation materials, certain secondary (regenerative) cells, molten salt cells, amorphous alloy strips, certain chemicals; and on specific technologies, in respect of which the export of technological documents is controlled to certain destinations, relating to automatically controlled industrial systems, wafer or chip design or processed information inherent in the manufacture of assemblies, modules, integrated circuits or circuit elements, inert gas and vacuum atomising process, radio relay communications equipment, laser resonators, micro-wave assemblies, sub-assemblies or amplifiers, cathode-ray tubes, gallium arsenide-based transistors, image intensifiers, recording or reproducing equipment, oscilloscopes, quartz-crystal elements, gravity meters.
2. The descriptions of goods subject to export control have been amended in respect of induction furnaces, primary cells, electric arc equipment, electronic circuit assemblies.
3. Frequency changers have been transferred from Group 3C to Group 2B.
4. Copies of the British Standards referred to in these Regulations may be obtained from any of the sales outlets operated by the British Standards Institution (BSI), or by post from the BSI at 3 Linford Wood, Milton Keynes, MK14 6LE.
