when an intermediate stage of manufacture has been performed and it is not yet in its final component form.
8. A. 002. b. Systems specially designed or modified for the automated control of the motion of submersible vehicles specified by 8A001, using navigation data, having closed loop servo‑controls and having any of the following:
1. Enabling a vehicle to move within 10 m of a predetermined point in the water column;
2. Maintaining the position of the vehicle within 10 m of a predetermined point in the water column; or
3. Maintaining the position of the vehicle within 10 m while following a cable on or under the seabed;
8. A. 002. c. Fibre optic pressure hull penetrators;
8. A. 002. d. Underwater vision systems having all of the following:
1. Specially designed or modified for remote operation with an underwater vehicle; and
2. Employing any of the following techniques to minimise the effects of back scatter:
a. Range‑gated illuminators; or
b. Range‑gated laser systems;
8. A. 002. e. Not used;
8. A. 002. f. Not used;
8. A. 002. g. Light systems specially designed or modified for underwater use, as follows:
1. Stroboscopic light systems capable of a light output energy of more than 300 J per flash and a flash rate of more than 5 flashes per second;
2. Argon arc light systems specially designed for use below 1,000 m;
8. A. 002. h. "Robots" specially designed for underwater use, controlled by using a dedicated computer and having any of the following:
1. Systems that control the "robot" using information from sensors which measure force or torque applied to an external object, distance to an external object, or tactile sense between the "robot" and an external object; or
2. The ability to exert a force of 250 N or more or a torque of 250 Nm or more and using titanium based alloys or "composite" "fibrous or filamentary materials" in their structural members;
8. A. 002. i. Remotely controlled articulated manipulators specially designed or modified for use with submersible vehicles and having any of the following:
1. Systems which control the manipulator using information from sensors which measure any of the following:
a. Torque or force applied to an external object; or
b. Tactile sense between the manipulator and an external object; or
2. Controlled by proportional master‑slave techniques and having 5 degrees of 'freedom of movement' or more;

Technical Note:
For the purposes of 8A002.i.2., only functions having proportionally related motion control using positional feedback are counted when determining the number of degrees of 'freedom of movement'.

8. A. 002. j. Air independent power systems specially designed for underwater use, as follows:
1. Brayton or Rankine cycle
