ECCN 7A001
NSMTATAccelerometers as follows and specially designed components therefor.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 7A001 controls precision accelerometers and specially designed components, defined by "bias" and "scale factor" stability and the linear-acceleration range over which they operate. These sensors are core to inertial navigation, and the highest-performance devices are essential to missile and aircraft guidance — hence the National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism controls.
Who needs to check this?
Inertial-sensor manufacturers and exporters of navigation-grade accelerometers, inertial measurement units, and guidance components.
Compliance tip
7A001 is a Missile Technology entry, so license exceptions are generally unavailable and exports typically require a license regardless of destination. Classification depends on measured bias and scale-factor stability over time — verify your device's calibration data against the entry thresholds, and note that higher-g devices are addressed in separate sub-paragraphs.
Items Covered
- 1. Specified to function at linear acceleration levels less than or equal to 15 g and having any of the following:
- 1.a. A "bias" "stability" of less (better) than 130 micro g with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year; or
- 1.b. A "scale factor" "stability" of less (better) than 130 ppm with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year;
- 2. Specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 15 g but less than or equal to 100 g and having all of the following:
- 2.a. A "bias" "repeatability" of less (better) than 1,250 micro g over a period of one year; and
- 2.b. A "scale factor" "repeatability" of less (better) than 1,250 ppm over a period of one year; or
- 3. Designed for use in inertial navigation or guidance systems and specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g;
- b.Angular or rotational accelerometers, specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
