Notes

(1)

 In subclasses C 12 M to C 12 Q or C 12 S, and within each of these subclasses, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place. [3]

(2)

 In this class, viruses, undifferentiated human, animal or plant cells, protozoa, tissues and unicellular algae are considered as micro-organisms. [3,5]

(3)

 In this subclass, unless specifically provided for, undifferentiated human, animal or plant cells, protozoa, tissues and unicellular algae are classified together with micro-organisms. Sub-cellular parts, unless specifically provided for, are classified with the whole cell. [5]

(4)

 The codes of subclass C 12 R are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclasses C 12 C to C 12 Q or C 12 S, so as to provide information concerning the micro-organisms used in the processes classified in these subclasses. [3]

C 12 C

 BREWING OF BEER (cleaning of raw materials A 23 N; pitching or depitching machines, cellar tools C 12 L; propagating yeasts C 12 N 1/14; non-beverage ethanolic fermentation C 12 P 7/06)
 

Note
 

In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclass C 12 R. The indexing codes should be linked. [6]
