ISSUE No. 1  : MANUFACTURE OF POWDERS OF LAMELLAR STRUCTURE FROM
POWDERS OF NON-LAMELLAR STRUCTURE
OPTION A : Yes
1. The metal powder industry differentiates betw een granular 3-dimensional metal powders and
a completely different line of powders consisting of 2-dimensional products of lamellar structure.
Granular 3-dimensional metal powder is produced by atomization of liquid metal with air or inert gas.
The atomized powder is processed by means of sieving and sifting techniques to obtain powders in
the desired grain sizes.  Lamellar metal powders are produced by means of a dry working process
using atomized powder as raw material.
2. The manufacture of lamellar powders is not a mere milling but a sophisticated, high-tech
conversion/reshaping process.  During the conversion/reshaping process, new faces of lamellar
powder are continuously produced.  In addition to a clearly defined grain distribution pattern, the
lamellar powders also show a highly reflective surface after being treated in a polishing machine in
order to smooth the surface.
3. In comparison with granular powder, lamellar powders have a considerably higher reactivity
because they have a very high surface area and a much lower thickness than atomized powders in
similar fineness.  These properties are required by the chemical and building industry. Hence, the
manufacture of copper or aluminium powders of lamellar structure from powders of non-lamellar
structure is considered to be a substantial transformation.

19. The manufacture of copper, aluminium, nickel, tin, lead or zinc wire from bars,  rods and
profiles of the corresponding metal is a substantial transformation.  Wire is generally produced fromhot-rolled bars and rods in irregularly wound coils by  drawing them through a die; wire drawing is an
important cold plastic deformation.  Wire may also be obtained by other cold-forming processes such
as cold-rolling.  The products obtained have particular features which distinguish them from the bars

• the thickness of the copper plates, sheets and strip used is not less than 0.5 mm; or
• the thickness of the nickel, aluminium or lead plates, sheets and strip used is reduced by at least
50% as a result of the transformation.
24. The manufacture entails a hot or cold plastic deformation of the source products, thereby
altering their characteristics.  Moreover, the uses of foil are different from those of plates, sheets and
strip.  However, to ensure that this manufacturing operation attains a minimum threshold, a minimum
reduction in the thickness of the products used is required.  That is to say, the starting products forcopper foil cannot be less than 0.5 mm thick, whereas the starting products for nickel, aluminium or
lead foil must be at least 50% thicker than the resultant products.

ALUMINIUM FOIL (7607.19) AND BACKED ALUMINIUM FOIL
(7607.20) FROM ALUMINIUM FOIL, ROLLED BUT NOT FURTHER
WORKED
OPTION A : Yes
25. Printing, colouring and lacquering of aluminium foil or backing of aluminium foil with paper,
PVC or the like are substantial transformations.
26. The manufacturing process to obtain printed, coloured and lacquered aluminium foil involves
the following operations :G/RO/27/Ad d.1/Corr.1
Page 15
• Colouring : The glossy side of the aluminium foil is coloured with a gold-coloured lacquer to give
a good decorative ground for the following red print.
 
• Printing and protective lacquering : The coloured side of the aluminium foil is gravure printed with
a solvent-based system and dried reel to reel gravure printing machine with automatic reel change.Up to ten individual inks can be applied in one pass. Each station is equipped with a drying tunnel.
The last drying tunnel is suitable for drying protective varnishes.
 
• Heat seal lacquering : The matt side of the aluminium foil is heat seal lacquered in order : (a) to
prevent corrosion of the aluminium and changes in the food by the packaging material, and (b) to
allow a tight closure between the lid and the container.
 
• Reeling/prelubrication : The lacquered, coloured and printed material is slit to the required width
and length with a reel-to-reel cutting machine with rotary knife system. There is an automatic edge
control system for straight reel edges and programmed web tension control for even reels. At the
same stage, the aluminium foil must be prelubrica ted in order to allow manufacture of containers
with a high pressure machine. This operation is necessary to avoid pin holes in the containers.
27. The manufacturing process to obtain aluminiu m foil with backing involves the following
operations :
• Printing : This stage is the same as for the printed, lacquered aluminium foil (see above).
 
• Laminating : The matt aluminium side is laminated to the smoother paper surface with an even
coating of special grease-resistant laminating wax. The wax must offer high bonding strength to
aluminium and paper as well as be soft enough to give good dead fold properties. This operation
takes place in a reel-to-reel wax laminator with varnish station and drying tunnel. There is a
separate melter for wax. The wax bath temperature is controlled via a thermo oil system withthermostat. In the laminating station, the temperature is controlled with pneumatic nip pressure.
 
• Reeling : This stage is the same as for the printed, lacquered aluminium foil (see above).
28. The manufacturing process to obtain aluminium foil with backing for covering
telecommunication cables involves the following operations :
- Annealing and de-greasing : Reels of thick aluminium band are annealed by feeding the web
through special ovens. The web is carefully heated to just below the metals melting point, then
cooled. The metal recrystallizes and becomes soft. During this process, the majority of the
lubricant used during rolling evaporates from both sides of the aluminium band. A multiple-stage wash process is used in order to reduce residue to a minimum.
- Extrusion coating : The annealed aluminium ba nd is extrusion-coated on one side. EAA Resin
is melted; then a film is applied directly to  the aluminium via an extruder with continuous
monitoring of coat weight and web control. In order to achieve optimum adhesion, the materialis tempered (heat-treated) after coating.
- Reeling : This stage is the same as for the printed, coloured, lacquered aluminium foil (see
above).
29. As a result of these operations, the basic materials have turned into new, different products for
specific uses. The obtained products are specially designed for use as packaging orG/RO/27/Add.1/Corr.1

OPTION A : Yes
33. The refining of unwrought metals is a substantial transformation.  Refining is a metallurgical
operation intended to remove, from the unwr ought product, any impurities which would be
detrimental to its industrial use, or to render those impurities less harmful.  Various techniques areused to achieve this objective :
- Thermal refining without reaction : Purification by mechanical means (decanting, washing,
vibration, bubbling through with inert gases) or by change of state (change from solid to liquid
and vice versa, change from solid or liquid to gas).
 
- Thermal refining by selective reaction : Refining of metal in liquid state (by selective oxidation,
by selective chlorination, by selective sulphuration, etc.) or in solid state (by action of gas on the
impurities or the metal).
 
- Electrolytic refining : The metal to be purified constitutes the anode; the bath is a solution of that
metal; the pure metal is deposited on the cathode.
34. These various processes are extremely technical.  The metals obtained clearly have
characteristics which are totally different and are intended for specific uses.

1.  CHEMICAL REACTION   Basket 1
A “chemical reaction” is a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaki ng intramolecular bonds
and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
The following are not considered to be chemical  reactions for the purposes of this definition:
1) dissolving in water or other solvents;
2) the elimination of solvents including solvent water; or3) the addition or elimination of water of crystallizationG/RO/27/Ad d.1/Corr.1

conferring.
3.  PURIFICATION   Basket 1; Basket 2 for bracketed text
Purification is considered to be origin conferring prov ided that one of the following criteria is satisfied :
(a) purification of a good resulting in the elimination of 80 percent of the content of existing impurities; or(b)the reduction or elimination of impurities [resulting in a specified minimum level of purity] to make the good suitable for one or more of the
following applications:
i)  pharmaceutical, [medical,] cosmetic, veterinary or food grade substances;
ii)  chemical products and reagents for analytical, diagnostic or laboratory uses;
iii)  elements and components for use in in micro-electronics;
iv)  specialized optical uses;
[v)       [non toxic uses for health and safety ];
