COMMISSION DECISION  of 1 August 1980  finding that the apparatus described as "TSI-LDA Burst Processor, System 1980" is not a scientific apparatus  (80/830/EEC)

Whereas, by letter dated 11 March 1980, the British Government has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "TSI-LDA Burst Processor, System 1980", to be used in research in order to improve the efficiency of combustion systems, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 24 June 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a signal analyser;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "TSI-LDA Burst Processor, System 1980" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
