Dual-use items
Check your material master: Changes to the EU dual-use control list
The new year brings updates for the EU dual-use control list in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821. Are the dual-use items that you trade with affected?
07.01.2022
On October 20, 2021, the EU adopted the annual Delegated Regulation that updates the EU dual-use export control list in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821. Details were published in the Official Journal of the European Union (L003) on January 6, 2022 and the regulation took effect on January 7, 2022.
The updates reflect the agreed changes based on reviews by the multilateral Export Control Regimes (Wassenaar Arrangement (WA), Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), Australia Group (AG), and Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)), and several editorial changes.
Detailed changes of the EU dual-use control list include:
- A new note for the control of biocontainment chambers, isolators, or biological safety cabinets (2B352.f.2 Note 2). This update aims to include any isolator that meets the listed characteristics in the description of the item, regardless of its intended use and its designation.
- A change to the definition of "superalloys" to specify the ultimate tensile strength of such materials.
- Some minor corrections and editorial changes.
Companies should check these updates carefully and implement any required changes in their material master accordingly.
