to 6A002.a.3.e.;
b. Incorporating "focal plane arrays" specified by 6A002.a.3.f.; or
c. Incorporating "focal plane arrays" specified by 6A002.a.3.g.;
Note 1: 'Imaging cameras' specified by 6A003.b.4. include "focal plane arrays" combined with sufficient "signal processing" electronics, beyond the read out integrated circuit, to enable as a minimum the output of an analogue or digital signal once power is supplied.
Note 2: 6A003.b.4.a. does not apply to imaging cameras incorporating linear "focal plane arrays" with 12 elements or fewer, not employing time‑delay‑and‑integration within the element and designed for any of the following:
a. Industrial or civilian intrusion alarm, traffic or industrial movement control or counting systems;
b. Industrial equipment used for inspection or monitoring of heat flows in buildings, equipment or industrial processes;
c. Industrial equipment used for inspection, sorting or analysis of the properties of materials;
d. Equipment specially designed for laboratory use; or
e. Medical equipment.
Note 3: 6A003.b.4.b. does not apply to imaging cameras having any of the following:
a. A maximum frame rate equal to or less than 9 Hz;
b. Having all of the following:
1. Having a minimum horizontal or vertical 'Instantaneous‑Field‑of‑View (IFOV)' of at least 2 mrad (milliradians);
 Technical Note:
                           For the purposes of 6A003.b.4. Note 3.b.1, 'Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV)' specified by 6A003.b.4. Note 3.b. is the lesser figure of the 'Horizontal IFOV' or the 'Vertical IFOV'.
                           'Horizontal IFOV' = horizontal Field of View (FOV) / number of horizontal detector elements
                           'Vertical IFOV' = vertical Field of View (FOV) / number of vertical detector elements.
2. Incorporating a fixed focal‑length lens that is not designed to be removed;
3. Not incorporating a 'direct view' display; and
 Technical Note:
 For the purposes of 6004.3.b.4. Note 3.b.3., 'Direct view' refers to an imaging camera operating in the infrared spectrum that presents a visual image to a human observer using a near‑to‑eye micro display incorporating any light‑security mechanism.
4. Having any of the following:
a. No facility to obtain a viewable image of the detected field‑of‑view; or
b. The camera is designed for a single kind of application and designed not to be user modified; or
c. The camera is specially designed for installation into a civilian passenger land vehicle and having all of the following:
1. The placement and configuration of the camera within the vehicle are solely to assist the driver in the safe operation of the vehicle;
2. Is only operable when installed in any of the following:
a. The civilian passenger land vehicle for which it was intended and the vehicle weighs less than 4,500 kg (gross vehicle weight); or
b. A specially designed, authorised maintenance test facility; and
3. Incorporates an active mechanism that forces the camera not to function
