This Item does not embargo the following cells and power source devices, and specially designed components therefor (nothing in this Note shall be construed as permitting the export of technology for such cells, power source devices or specially designed components)-
(a) Fuel cells embargoed by sub-item (a)(1) above, provided they are not "space qualified", with a maximum output power more than 10 kilowatts and which use gaseous pure hydrogen and oxygen/air reactants, alkaline electrolyte and a catalyst supported by carbon either pressed on a metal mesh electrode or attached to a conducting porous plastic;
(b) Lithium primary cells or batteries embargoed by sub-item (a)(2)(ii) which-
(1) Are specially designed for consumer applications and used in watches, pacemakers, calculators or hearing aids; or
(2) Are specially designed for consumer or civil industrial applications and have a nominal capacity less than or equal to 35 ampere-hours and discharge current of less than C/10 hours (C as defined in (a)(2)(ii));
(c) Lithium secondary (rechargeable) cells and batteries embargoed by sub-item (a)(3)(ii) above which-
(1) Are specially designed for consumer applications which will have been previously determined by the Trade Department, or
(2) Have a nominal capacity less than or equal to 0.5 ampere-hour and an energy density of less than 40 watt-hours per kilogramme (18 watt-hours per pound) at 273K (0°C, 32°F) and a discharge current of less than C/10 hours (C as defined in (a)(3));
(d) Sodium secondary (rechargeable) cells and batteries embargoed by sub-item (a)(3)(ii) above which are specially designed for consumer or civil industrial applications which are not "space qualified".
N.B.
The term "space qualified" used in this Item refers to products which are stated by the manufacturer as designed and tested to meet the special electrical, mechanical or environmental requirements for use in rockets, satellites or high-altitude flight systems operating at altitudes of 100 km or more.
Electric arc devices (or plasma torches) and equipment, as follows, and specially designed components, accessories, and controls and "specially designed software" therefor-
(a) Electric arc devices for generating a flow of ionized gas in which the arc column is constricted except-
(i) Devices using less than 100 kW arc power for welding, melting, plating or spraying; or
(ii) Devices with less than 235 kW arc power for cutting,
