ECCN 5B002
NSATInformation Security test, inspection and production equipment, as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 5B002 controls "information security" test, inspection, and production equipment — including equipment specially designed for the development or production of the information-security items controlled under 5A002, 5A003, and 5A004. It is controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons because the capability to produce and validate cryptographic and security hardware is itself sensitive.
Who needs to check this?
Suppliers of cryptographic-module test equipment, security-hardware production tooling, and laboratories validating controlled information-security products.
Compliance tip
Control follows the security item the equipment is designed to make or test — tie it back to the relevant 5A002/5A003/5A004 entry. Verify the NS and AT Country Chart columns and the License Exception paragraph; encryption-related production equipment may also implicate the ENC provisions.
