Note 1: This paragraph does not control explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics, fuels, oxidisers, binders, additives, or precursors therefor:
(b) identified in the relevant United States Government contract or other funding authorisation as being developed for both civil and military applications.
Note 2: Note 1 does not apply to defence articles enumerated on this list, whether in production or development.
Note 3: This paragraph applies only to those contracts and funding authorisations that are dated 5 January 2015, or later.
(j) Technical data and defence services directly related to the defence articles described in paragraphs (a) to (i) (MT for articles designated as such).
(k) The following interpretations explain and amplify the terms used in this category and elsewhere in this list:
(1) Category V contains explosives, energetic materials, propellants and pyrotechnics and specially formulated fuels for aircraft, missile and naval applications. Explosives are solid, liquid or gaseous substances or mixtures of substances, which, in their primary, booster or main charges in warheads, demolition or other military applications, are required to detonate;
(2) the resulting product of the combination or conversion of any substance controlled by this category into an item not controlled will no longer be controlled by this category provided the controlled item cannot easily be recovered through dissolution, melting, sieving, etc. As an example, beryllium converted to a near net shape using hot isostatic processes will result in an uncontrolled part. A cured thermoset containing beryllium powder is not controlled unless meeting an explosive or propellant control. The mixture of beryllium powder in a cured thermoset shape is not controlled by this category. The mixture of controlled beryllium powder mixed with a typical propellant binder will remain controlled by this category. The addition of dry silica powder to dry beryllium powder will remain controlled;
(3) subparagraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) does not apply to boron and boron carbide enriched with boron‑10 (20% or more of total boron‑10 content;
(4) theoretical specific impulse (Isp) is calculated using standard conditions (1000 psi chamber pressure expanded to 14.7 psi) and measured in units of pound‑force‑seconds per pound‑mass (lbf‑s/lbm) or simplified to seconds (s). Calculations will be based on shifting equilibrium;
(5) particle size is the mean particle diameter on a weight basis. Best industrial practices will be used in determining particle size and the controls may not be undermined by addition of larger or smaller sized material to shift the mean diameter;
(l)‑(w) [Reserved]
Note: Use of this paragraph is limited to exports of defence articles controlled in this category where the purchase documentation includes commodities, software, or technical data.
Note 1: To assist the exporter, an item has been categorised by the most common use. Also, where appropriate, references have been provided to the related controlled precursors.
Note 2: Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry numbers do not cover all the substances and mixtures controlled by this category. The numbers are provided as examples to assist the government agencies in the license review process and the exporter when completing their licence application and export documentation.
