Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for testing non-metallic coatings or substrates
Primary material tested determines subheading per heading structure.
If optical microscope is principal component
Compound optical microscopes classify in 9011, but integrated mechanical testers stay in 9024.
If for general precision measuring instruments
Note 7 sends optical measuring to 9031 if not specific mechanical property tester.
