Information about export: Standard/export versions

■
Overview
As a consequence of the prevailing export restrictions
applicable to the CNC software of numerical controls in relation
to particular control functions in accordance with the
European/German Export List (export list item 2D002), the
SINUMERIK 840D sl is available in two versions.
This applies to the CNC system software for the
SINUMERIK 840D sl.
The
standard versions
of the SINUMERIK 840D sl offer the full
scope of CNC functions, but
require official approval
according to the export list item 2D002 when exported to
countries outside the EU.
The
export versions
of the SINUMERIK 840DE sl have
restricted functionality in accordance with the export list
restrictions, and therefore
do not require official approval
as
a result of their type in accordance with EU or German law.
The approval status for the complete CNC system is
correspondingly dependent on the hardware or software version
used.
General note:
If any particular components require official re-export approval
according to US law
, this must be duly filed for. Information about
official approval requirements for supplied components is given
in the delivery documentation: Goods marked here with
"AL not equal to N" are subject to European or German export
authorization when being exported out of the EU. Goods marked
with "ECCN not equal to N" are subject to US re-export
authorization. Even if goods are not labeled or labeled with
"AL:N" or "ECCN:N", they may still be subject to export
authorization depending on the final destination and end use of
the goods.
If a purchase contract is concluded, fulfillment of this contract by
Siemens shall be subject to the proviso that there are no
impediments arising from any national or international
regulations on foreign trade and that there are no embargos
and/or other sanctions.
Important export information
Export of standard versions of components or systems can be
subjected to a time-consuming official authorization process, so
it is recommended that the
export version is used where
applicable
.
"Information on classification verification (Auskunft zur Güterliste
(AZG))" pertaining to the official export authorization process is
available for export versions (e.g. Federal Office of Economics
and Export Control (BAFA), Customs). You can obtain a copy of
this verification from your local Siemens sales office.
When the standard versions are used, it is important to note
that the official authorization is also required for the export of
components subject to export approval within the framework
of service provision, the supply of spare parts and delivery of
software upgrades/updates. This is especially relevant in cases
where the CNC is exported after the machine manufacturer has
installed it in a machine tool. The lengthy official approval
procedure can severely restrict after-sales service.
When an application for an export permit for a system is made,
we therefore recommend that spare parts supplies for any
components requiring approval are included in the application
as a matter of course to avoid future delays.
If the CNC is to be exported as an installed component in a
machine tool, we recommend that machine manufacturers
include any spare parts requiring approval in the export permit
application for the machine. If the machine itself does not require
official export approval, but contains components which do, we
recommend that an export permit for the replacement supply of
such spare parts is applied for in advance, in case this is
necessary.
Spare part supplies requiring official approval can then be
exported quickly and easily by the machine manufacturer
himself, or by Siemens if the manufacturer can make the original
export permit available to Siemens.
Restricted functionality of export versions
The designation "E" in the name of the CNC indicates that it is the
export version, i.e. the relevant control software is classified as
not requiring official approval (AL=N) with the functional
restrictions specified in the table according
to export list item 2D002.
You will find further information about "restricted functionality" for
the export versions in the glossary for Catalog NC 62 in the
