- glass is not regarded as "worked" by reason of any process it has undergone before annealing;
- cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets;
- "absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer" means a microscopically thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency; or which prevents light from being reflected on the surface of the glass.
- The products referred to in 7006.00.00 remain classified in that heading whether or not they have the character of articles.
- For the purposes of 7019, "glass wool" means:
- Mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content not less than 60% by weight;
- Mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content less than 60% but with an alkaline oxide (K2O or Na2O) content exceeding 5% by weight or a boric oxide (B2O3) content exceeding 2% by weight.
Mineral wools which do not comply with the above specifications fall in
