NSATOther technology as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 6E003 controls specified "other technology" in Category 6 — itemized development or production know-how for certain sensors, lasers, and optical equipment defined in the entry. As an "E" entry it governs intangible technology, including "deemed exports" to foreign nationals, and is controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Sensor, laser, and optics R&D teams, and firms transferring related development or production technology across borders.
Compliance tip
6E003 is itemized — only the specific technologies it lists are controlled, so map your know-how to the exact sub-paragraph. Foreign-national access and intangible transfers ("deemed exports") require authorization analysis; verify the NS and AT columns.
Items Covered
- d."Technology" as follows:
- 1. "Technology" "required" for the coating and treatment of optical surfaces to achieve an 'optical thickness' uniformity of 99.5% or better for optical coatings 500 mm or more in diameter or major axis length and with a total loss (absorption and scatter) of less than 5 × 10−3;
- 2. "Technology" for the fabrication of optics using single point diamond turning techniques to produce surface finish "accuracies" of better than 10 nm rms on non-planar surfaces exceeding 0.5 m2;
- e."Technology" "required" for the "development," "production" or "use" of specially designed diagnostic instruments or targets in test facilities for "SHPL" testing or testing or evaluation of materials irradiated by "SHPL" beams;
