Technical Notes:

1. Secondary parallel contouring axes, (e.g., the w-axis on horizontal boring mills or a secondary rotary axis the
centre line of which is parallel to the primary rotary axis) are not counted in the total number of contouring axes.
Rotary axes need not rotate over 360°. A rotary axis can be driven by a linear device (e.g., a screw or a rack-and-
pinion).

2. For the purposes of 2B, the number of axes which can be co-ordinated simultaneously for ΄΄contouring control΄΄
is the number of axes along or around which, during processing of the workpiece, simultaneous and interrelated
motions are performed between the workpiece and a tool. This does not include any additional axes along or
around which other relative movement within the machine are performed such as:

a. Wheel-dressing systems in grinding machines;

b. Parallel rotary axes designed for mounting of separate workpieces;

c. Co-linear rotary axes designed for manipulating the same workpiece by holding it in a chuck from different

ends.

3. Axis nomenclature shall be in accordance with International Standard ISO 841, ΄Numerical Control Machines

— Axis and Motion Nomenclature΄.

4. For the purposes of 2B001 to 2B009 a ΄΄tilting spindle΄΄ is counted as a rotary axis.

5. Stated positioning accuracy levels derived from measurements made according to ISO 230/2 (1988) (1) or
individual machine tests. Stated
national equivalents may be used for each machine tool model
positioning accuracy means the accuracy value provided to the competent authorities of the Member State in
which the exporter is established as representative of the accuracy of a machine model.

instead of

Determination of Stated Values

a. Select five machines of a model to be evaluated;

b. Measure the linear axis accuracies according to ISO 230/2 (1988) (1);

c. Determine the A-values for each axis of each machine. The method of calculating the A-value is described in

the ISO standard;

d. Determine the mean value of the A-value of each axis. This mean value Â becomes the stated value of each

axis for the model (Âx Ây...);

e. Since the Category 2 list refers to each linear axis there will be as many stated values as there are linear axes;

f.

If any axis of a machine model not controlled by 2B001.a. to 2B001.c. or 2B201 has a stated accuracy Â of
6 microns for grinding machines and 8 microns for milling and turning machines or better, the manufacturer
should be required to reaffirm the accuracy level once every eighteen months.

Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:

a. Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal,
alloy, ΄΄composite΄΄, dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed
or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound
material on the substrate. Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by the heat
of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or ΄΄laser΄΄ irradiation.

N.B. 1 CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation

thermal deposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes.

N.B. 2 Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.

N.B. 3 The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as
the pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.

b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum
with a pressure less than 0,1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the coating material. This
the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned
process results in the condensation, or deposition, of
substrates.

The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an
ordinary modification of the process.

The use of ion or electron beams, or plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a common
modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and
thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes.

Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:

1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the material which forms the coating;

2. Ion Assisted Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating sources in combination with impinging

ion beam(s) to produce a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;

L 74/94

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

13.3.2006

3. ΄΄Laser΄΄ Vaporization uses either pulsed or continuous wave ΄΄laser΄΄ beams to vaporize the material which

forms the coating;

4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the material which forms the coating and has an arc
discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled motion of arcing
erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the
periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight
deposition.

N.B. This definition does not include random cathodic arc deposition with non-biased substrates.

5. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to
ionize the species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to facilitate the
extraction of the species from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the
process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and
thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.

c. Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a

powder mixture (a 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 a retort which is heated to between 1 030 K (757 °C) and
1 375 K (1,102 °C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

d. Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma
accepts powder or wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally
bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma
spraying.

N.B. 1

Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure.

N.B. 2 High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20 °C) at 0,1 MPa.

e. Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder
with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting,
subsequent air or oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.

f. Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive
ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the
impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately
positioned substrate.

N.B. 1 The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the
coating and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used to permit vaporisation of
non-metallic coating materials.

N.B. 2 Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the deposition.

g.

Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionised, accelerated
through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. This includes processes in which
ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputter deposition.

Note: 3A232 does not control detonators using only primary explosives, such as lead azide.

Technical Note:
In 3A232 the detonators of concern all utilise a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire or foil) that explosively
vapourises when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor
starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In
slapper detonators, the explosive vapourisation of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the
impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by a
magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the
word initiator is sometimes used in place of the word detonator.

Execution time ΄t΄ is expressed in microseconds, TP and ΄΄CTP΄΄ are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per

Outline of ΄΄CTP΄΄ calculation method
΄΄CTP΄΄ is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the ΄΄CTP΄΄ of an aggregation of ΄΄CEs΄΄
the following three steps are required:

1. Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each ΄΄CE΄΄;

2. Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP)

for each ΄΄CE΄΄;

3. If there is more than one ΄΄CE΄΄, combine the TPs, resulting in a ΄΄CTP΄΄ for the aggregation.

Details for these steps are given in the following sections.

Note 1: For aggregations of multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄ which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of ΄΄CTP΄΄
is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the groups of ΄΄CEs΄΄ sharing memory; second, calculate the ΄΄CTP΄΄
of the groups using the calculation method for multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄ not sharing memory.

Note 2: ΄΄CEs΄΄ that are limited to input/output and peripheral

controllers) are not aggregated into the ΄΄CTP΄΄ calculation.

Note W: For a pipelined ΄΄CE΄΄ capable of executing up to one arithmetic or logic operation every clock cycle after the pipeline is full,
a pipelined rate can be established. The effective calculating rate (R) for such a ΄΄CE΄΄ is the faster of the pipelined rate or
non-pipelined execution rate.

Note X: For a ΄΄CE΄΄ which performs multiple operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle or two

identical logic operations per cycle), the execution time t is given by:

t =

the number of identical operations per machine cycle

cycle time

΄΄CEs΄΄ which perform different types of arithmetic or logic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple
separate ΄΄CEs΄΄ performing simultaneously (e.g., a ΄΄CE΄΄ performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be
treated as two ΄΄CEs΄΄, the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one
cycle). If a single ΄΄CE΄΄ has both scalar function and vector function, use the shorter execution time value.

tfpreciprocal

Note Z: In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given
lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more
results from two or more operands.

Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths considering both pipelined operations (if supported), and non-
pipelined operations using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:

1. Pipelined or register-to-register operations. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a
predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register-to-register operations are
implemented, continue with (2).

2. The faster of register-to-memory or memory-to-register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with (3).

3. Memory-to-memory.

In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer.

13.3.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 74/129

Step 2: TP for each supported operand length WL

Adjust the effective rate R (or R') by the word length adjustment L as follows:

TP = R × L,

where L = (1/3 + WL/96)

Note: The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different

lengths, select the largest word length.)

The combination of a mantissa ALU and an exponent ALU of a floating point processor or unit is considered to be
one ΄΄CE΄΄ with a Word Length (WL) equal to the number of bits in the data representation (typically 32 or 64) for
purposes of the ΄΄CTP΄΄ calculation.

This adjustment is not applied to specialized logic processors which do not use XOR instructions. In this case

TP = R.

Select the maximum resulting value of TP for:

Each XP-only ΄΄CE΄΄ (Rxp);

Each FP-only ΄΄CE΄΄ (Rfp);

Each combined FP and XP ΄΄CE΄΄ (R);

Each simple logic processor not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations; and

Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

Step 3: ΄΄CTP΄΄ for aggregations of ΄΄CEs΄΄, including CPUs

For a CPU with a single ΄΄CE΄΄,

΄΄CTP΄΄ = TP

(for ΄΄CEs΄΄ performing both fixed and floating point operations

TP = max (TPfp, TPxp)

΄΄CTP΄΄ for aggregations of multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄ operating simultaneously is calculated as follows:

Note 1: For aggregations that do not allow all of the ΄΄CEs΄΄ to run simultaneously, the possible combination of ΄΄CEs΄΄
that provides the largest ΄΄CTP΄΄ should be used. The TP of each contributing ΄΄CE΄΄ is to be calculated at its
maximum value theoretically possible before the ΄΄CTP΄΄ of the combination is derived.

N.B. To determine the possible combinations of simultaneously operating ΄΄CEs΄΄, generate an instruction sequence
that initiates operations in multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄, beginning with the slowest ΄΄CE΄΄ (the one needing the largest
number of cycles to complete its operation) and ending with the fastest ΄΄CE΄΄. At each cycle of the sequence,
the combination of ΄΄CEs΄΄ that are in operation during that cycle is a possible combination. The instruction
sequence must take into account all hardware and/or architectural constraints on overlapping operations.

Note 2: A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄.

Note 3: Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or

simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4: ΄΄CTP΄΄ values are not to be aggregated for ΄΄CE΄΄ combinations (inter) connected by ΄΄Local Area Networks΄΄,
Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection
implemented by ΄΄software΄΄.

Note 5: ΄΄CTP΄΄ values must be aggregated for multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄ specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation,

provided:

1. The TPi of each ΄΄CE΄΄ or group of ΄΄CEs΄΄ does not exceed 30 Mtops;

2. The ΄΄CEs΄΄ or groups of ΄΄CEs΄΄ share access to main memory (excluding cache memory) over a single channel;

and

3. Only one ΄΄CE΄΄ or group of ΄΄CEs΄΄ can have use of the channel at any given time.

N.B. This does not apply to items controlled under Category 3.

Note 2: ΄΄CEs΄΄ share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache
memory, main memory or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or
RAM disks are not included.

For Multiple ΄΄CEs΄΄ or groups of ΄΄CEs΄΄ not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:

Ci = 0,75 × ki (i = 2, …, 32) (see Note below)

= 0,60 × ki (i = 33, …, 64)

= 0,45 × ki (i = 65, …, 256)

= 0,30 × ki (i > 256)

The value of Ci is based on the number of ΄΄CE΄΄s, not the number of nodes.

where

ki = min (Si/Kr, 1), and

Kr = normalising factor of 20 MByte/s.

Si = sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/s) for all data channels connected to the ith ΄΄CE΄΄ or

group of ΄΄CEs΄΄ sharing memory.

When calculating a Ci for a group of ΄΄CEs΄΄, the number of the first ΄΄CE΄΄ in a group determines the proper
limit for Ci. For example, in an aggregation of groups consisting of 3 ΄΄CEs΄΄ each, the 22nd group will contain

Outline of ΄΄APP΄΄ calculation method

1. For each processor i, determine the peak number of 64-bit or larger floating point operations, FPOi, performed per

cycle for each processor in the ΄΄digital computer΄΄.

Note
In determining FPO, include only 64-bit or larger floating point additions and/or multiplications. All floating point operations
must be expressed in operations per processor cycle; operations requiring multiple cycles may be expressed in fractional results per
cycle. For processors not capable of performing calculations on floating point operands of 64-bits or more, the effective calculating
rate R is zero.

2. Calculate the floating point rate R for each processor Ri = FPOi/ti.

3. Calculate ΄΄APP΄΄ as ΄΄APP΄΄ = W1 x R1 + W2 x R2 + … + Wn x Rn.

4. For ΄΄vector processors΄΄, Wi = 0.9. For non-΄΄vector processors΄΄, Wi = 0.3.

Note 1 For processors that perform compound operations in a cycle, such as addition and multiplication, each operation is counted.

Note 2 For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate R is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or the non-

pipelined rate.

Note 3 The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the
΄΄APP΄΄ of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims
concurrent, parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4 Do not include processors that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video

display) when calculating ΄΄APP΄΄.

Note 5 ΄΄APP΄΄ values are not to be calculated for processor combinations (inter)connected by ΄΄Local Area Networks΄΄, Wide Area
I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by

I/O shared connections/devices,

Networks,
΄΄software΄΄.

TECHNICAL NOTE ON ΄΄ADJUSTED PEAK PERFORMANCE΄΄ (΄΄APP΄΄)

Note 6 ΄΄APP΄΄ values must be calculated for:

1. Processor combinations containing processors specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation,

operating simultaneously and sharing memory; or

2. Multiple memory/processor combinations operating simultaneously utilizing specially designed hardware.

Note 7 A ΄΄vector processor΄΄ is defined as a processor with built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on floating-point
vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units and at
least 8 vector registers of at least 64 elements each.

Technical Notes:
1. Maintenance Level I

The failure of an inertial navigation unit is detected on the aircraft by indications from the control and display
unit (CDU) or by the status message from the corresponding sub-system. By following the manufacturer's manual,
the cause of the failure may be localised at the level of the malfunctioning line replaceable unit (LRU). The
operator then removes the LRU and replaces it with a spare.

2. Maintenance Level II

The defective LRU is sent to the maintenance workshop (the manufacturer's or that of the operator responsible for
level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate
means to verify and localise the defective shop replaceable assembly (SRA) module responsible for the failure. This
SRA is removed and replaced by an operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is then
shipped to the manufacturer.
