Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily for photographic exposure or light intensity measurement
Exposure meters using optical radiation for photography classify separately from chemical analysis instruments.
If mixing and dispensing functions predominate
Automated lab mixers with spectroscopic detection may classify as mixing machines under Chapter 84.
If for industrial process control rather than laboratory chemical analysis
Measuring/checking instruments for industrial use classify under 9031 if not specifically laboratory analytical apparatus.
