 Notes

(1)This class does not cover the working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B 31. [4]

(2)In this class, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:

 "plastics" means macromolecular compounds or compositions based on such compounds.

(3)In this class, the following rules apply:

 (a)The working of plastics is, as far as possible, classified primarily according to the particular shaping technique used, e.g. in subclass B 29 C. [4]

 (b)A product is not classified in this class unless it results from a technique which is covered by this class.

 (c)Classification according to production of particular articles in subclass B 29 D is restricted to:

 (i)aspects which are characteristic for the production of a particular article, and not classifiable in subclass B 29 B or B 29 C;

 (ii)combined operations for making the particular article which are not fully classifiable in subclass B 29 C. [4]

(4)The codes of subclass B 29 K are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclasses B 29 B, B 29 C, or B 29 D so as to provide information concerning moulding materials or materials for reinforcements, fillers or preformed parts, e.g. inserts. [4]

(5)The codes of subclass B 29 L are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclass B 29 C, so as to provide information concerning the articles produced by the techniques classified in subclass B 29 C. [4]

B 29 BPREPARATION OR PRETREATMENT OF THE MATERIAL TO BE SHAPED; MAKING GRANULES OR PREFORMS; RECOVERY OF PLASTICS OR OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF WASTE MATERIAL CONTAINING PLASTICS [4]

B 29 CSHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF SUBSTANCES IN A PLASTIC STATE, IN GENERAL; AFTER- TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING (working in the manner of metal B 23; grinding, polishing B 24; cutting B 26 D, B 26 F; making preforms B 29 B 11/00) [4]

B 29 DPRODUCING PARTICULAR ARTICLES FROM PLASTICS OR FROM SUBSTANCES IN A PLASTIC STATE (making granules B 29 B 9/00; making preforms B 29 B 11/00) [4]

B 29 KINDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES B 29 B, B 29 C OR B 29 D, RELATING TO MOULDING MATERIALS OR TO MATERIALS FOR REINFORCEMENTS, FILLERS OR PREFORMED PARTS, e.g. INSERTS [4]
