law://eu/reg/2012/726@2026-11-12THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariffnote, and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,Whereas:
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification(CN code) | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| An electronic apparatus (so-called ‘remote elevator monitoring unit’) in a housing with dimensions of approximately 28 × 22 × 9 cm for incorporation into a lift shaft.The apparatus, which receives information from various external sensors, is used for monitoring the functioning of the lift operations and detecting any malfunctions, for example, in starting and stopping, door opening and closing, levelling, in the traction motor, brake, cabin lighting. The information received is checked and processed by the apparatus and transmitted via a modem to a maintenance centre.After presentation and incorporation of a modem, the apparatus can provide two-way voice communication between the lift cabin and the maintenance centre through a microphone and a loudspeaker installed in the cabin. | 90319085 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9031, 903190 and 90319085.As the apparatus does not incorporate a modem or other communication device, classification as an apparatus for communication in a wired network under heading 8517 is excluded.As the apparatus does not provide any sound or visual signals, classification as an electric sound or visual signalling apparatus under heading 8531 is excluded.The apparatus monitors and checks the functioning of the lift and processes the data received. The sensors, where the signals to be processed are generated, are not incorporated in the apparatus. The apparatus does not itself display those signals. For these reasons, the apparatus is considered a part of a checking instrument. Consequently, classification as an incomplete machine of heading 9031 is excluded.The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 90319085 as a part of checking instruments, appliances and machines, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 90. |
