MTCR/TEM/2007/Annex/003
09th January 2008
1. INTRODUCTION
(a) This Annex consists of two categories of items, which term includes
equipment, materials, "software" or "technology". Category I items, all of
which are in Annex Items 1 and 2, are those items of greatest sensitivity. If
a Category I item is included in a system, that system will also be considered
as Category I, except when the incorporated item cannot be separated,
removed or duplicated. Category II items are those items in the Annex not
designated Category I.
(b) In reviewing the proposed applications for transfers of complete rocket and
unmanned aerial vehicle systems described in Items 1 and 19, and of
equipment, materials, "software" or "technology" which is listed in the
Technical Annex, for potential use in such systems, the Government will take
account of the ability to trade off "range" and "payload".
(c) General Technology Note:
The transfer of "technology" directly associated with any goods controlled in
the Annex is controlled according to the provisions in each Item to the extent
permitted by national legislation. The approval of any Annex item 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 item.
Note:
Controls do not apply to "technology" "in the public domain" or to "basic
scientific research".

09th January 2008
(d) General Software Note:
The Annex does not control "software" which is either:
1. Generally available to the public by being:
a. Sold from stock at retail selling points without restriction, by means
of:
1. Over-the-counter transactions;
2. Mail order transactions; or
3. Telephone call transactions; and
b. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial
support by the supplier; or
2. "In the public domain".
Note:
The General Software Note only applies to general purpose, mass market
"software".
(e) Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Numbers:
In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number.
Chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) are controlled
regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in
identifying whether a particular chemical or mixture is controlled,
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.
INTRODUCTION, DEFINITIONS, TERMINOLOGY

2. DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Annex, the following definitions apply:
"Basic scientific research"

"In the public domain"
This means "software" or "technology" which has been made available without
restrictions upon its further dissemination. (Copyright restrictions do not remove
"software" or "technology" from being "in the public domain".)
"Microcircuit"
A device in which a number of passive and/or active elements are considered as
indivisibly associated on or within a continuous structure to perform the
function of a circuit.
"Microprogrammes"
A sequence of elementary instructions maintained in a special storage, the
execution of which is initiated by the introduction of its reference instruction

"Payload"
The total mass that can be carried or delivered by the specified rocket system or

"Range"
The maximum distance that the specified rocket system or unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) system is capable of travelling in the mode of stable flight as
measured by the projection of its trajectory over the surface of the Earth.
Technical Notes:
1. The maximum capability based on the design characteristics of the system,
when fully loaded with fuel or propellant, will be taken into consideration in
determining "range".
2. The "range" for both rocket systems and UAV systems will be determined
independently of any external factors such as operational restrictions,
limitations imposed by telemetry, data links or other external constraints.
3. For rocket systems, the "range" will be determined using the trajectory that
maximises "range", assuming ICAO standard atmosphere with zero wind.
4. For UAV systems, the "range" will be determined for a one-way distance
using the most fuel-efficient flight profile (e.g. cruise speed and altitude),
assuming ICAO standard atmosphere with zero wind.
"Software"
A collection of one or more "programmes", or "micro-programmes", fixed in
any tangible medium of expression.
"Technology"
Means specific information which is required for the "development",
"production" or "use" of a product. The information may take the form of
"technical data" or "technical assistance".
"Technical assistance"
May take forms such as:
- instruction

3. TERMINOLOGY
Where the following terms appear in the text, they are to be understood
according to the explanations below:
(a) "Specially designed" describes equipment, parts, components or "software"
which, as a result of "development", have unique properties that distinguish
them for certain predetermined purposes. For example, a piece of
equipment that is "specially designed" for use in a missile will only be
considered so if it has no other function or use. Similarly, a piece of
manufacturing equipment that is "specially designed" to produce a certain
type of component will only be considered such if it is not capable of
producing other types of components.
(b) "Designed or modified" describes equipment, parts or components which,
as a result of "development," or modification, have specified properties that
make them fit for a particular application. "Designed or modified"
equipment, parts, components or "software" can be used for other
applications. For example, a titanium coated pump designed for a missile
may be used with corrosive fluids other than propellants.
(c) "Usable in", "usable for", "usable as" or "capable of" describes equipment,
parts, components, materials or "software" which are suitable for a
particular purpose. There is no need for the equipment, parts, components
or "software" to have been configured, modified or specified for the
particular purpose. For example, any military specification memory circuit
would be "capable of" operation in a guidance system.
(d) "Modified" in the context of "software" describes "software" which has
been intentionally changed such that it has properties that make it fit for
specified purposes or applications. Its properties may also make it suitable
for purposes or applications other than those for which it was "modified".

Technical Notes:
1. A ´guidance set´ integrates the process of measuring and computing a
vehicle's position and velocity (i.e. navigation) with that of computing
and sending commands to the vehicle's flight control systems to correct
the trajectory.
2. ´CEP´ (circle of equal probability) is a measure of accuracy, defined as

Statement of Understanding
Members agree that, in those cases where the term "national equivalents" are
specifically allowed as alternatives to specified International Standards, the technical
methods and parameters embodied in the national equivalent would ensure that the
requirements of the standard set by the specified International Standards are met.
